If I was not so stoic I would be left with a very bitter taste in my mouth by the amateur way the league is run...
Ottawa Head Coach, can outright threaten players and get away with it...what a free pass he got there eh...talk about double standards...just like the law of the land...terribly poor rules are written and enforced...and applied unequally across the spectrum, because Prust is a mere pawn on the periphery for the NHL overlords...they jumped at the chance to make an example of him...
I applaud the hf members here, the habs fans here who correctly and eruditely criticize substandard NHL rules, substandard officiating...and the little that is done about it...there is a vast ocean of improvement to be made.
It is a good thing Prust is monetarily compensated what he is...because man what a kick in the nuts...can't call a spade a spade...just shut up and play hockey eh, no matter the injustice that goes unattended and swept under the rug by the powers that be.
That said...Prust has to be smarter...to win, you have to know the rules of the game and use them to your advantage...NO EXCUSES..."kill or be killed" Prust got burnt this round this battle...hopefully he picks himself up adapts and becomes smarter and better..because it will be a cold day in hell before the NHL rules are properly ratified and enforced...
