Well I guess I was mis-informed then, and I was told Buff played forward a lot during his life. He is best suited to play as a defenseman. I still think Armia, who has the size, and is a great defensive puck handler, should be tried out if we're short on D-men.

He won his Cup playing forward, ask Luongo if he was effective :)

The only penalty they call objectively is delay of game. And I'm glad they do for that - because you can't get away with it you don't see nearly as many pucks over the glass. It makes a PKer's job way harder, but they've sucked it up and play within the rules.

If they started calling every cross-check for an entire season, you would see players change the way they play. You can play defensively without cross-checking, it's just a lot harder.

But it's the same thing with interference - one year the league will say they will call everything, and then they lighten up and then stop after the pre-season because people complain about too many penalties. Unfortunately it takes a while for players to change habits, and there is always an adjustment period. The NHL needs to have the guts to ignore the whiny media.

>99% of the time yes. Last game Boston got called for delay of game with the puck hitting the glass before going out.

So when Spanky was asked about the 1 game suspension of Morrissey he said the opposing team ,the Wild , are always wishing it would be more but DOPS has a tough job . So Spanky you think Morrissey should have gotten more than a game ? Give your head a shake you big baby . :shakehead

Just saw the Kane double cross check on Bellemare , the second of the two crosschecks was right in the face. Given the new precedent that dops set with the Morrissey neck crosscheck, Kane has to get a game. Right?

To borrow a turn of phrase from one of their dads: DoPS doesn't know how to spell the word precedent.

I think they used the new Morrissey precedent with the Kane suspension.
