Possibly., but I think if he didn't hand out any suspension, apart from the fact that the Canadiens have their own rule book, that the city would riot and all chaos would break loose like usual here (it was mentoined)
what a moronic city/fan base
It's true to a degree, but they have tons of good/normal fans/people too (well at least my friends are lol). You just have to be really selective. But damn, they cry for injustice so much, they still think that everything is due to them... Why? Because medias keep talking about 24 cups but seriously 80% of those Cups were won in a 6 team semi-amateur regional league... Ottawa won 11 cups long ago too, it was kinda easy back then. Habs won 2 Cups in the last 35 years and that's what matters, it's now very hard to win it all... it's still good but not "superior" like they seem to think
So, my problem with that fanbase is that they think they are the center of the universe, which is annoying as hell. But you have no idea (well you do because you're from Montreal too) how much "bandwagonners" that fanbase have... You don't hear about the Habs a lot when they suck, but when they win, it's non-stop.
Funny, the more I watch the replay, the more I think it's clean. How can Shanahan say this was a hit to the head?
I have lost a lot of respect for the NHL. Bunch of clowns running this league
After a 3rd lockout in 3 years, I don't have much respect left... Well, it's not really respect, it's more about credibility
Not really that interested in the NHL anymore. I follow it but not as passionately as before
