Sheer stupidity, because of a useless exhibition.
Was it was stupid when it was divisional rivals like Datsyuk and Lidstrom getting suspended back in 2009...or is it just an issue because it is Toews now?

If you are injured enough to miss the all-star game then you are injured enough to miss a regular season game.

I get why the NHL does it, don't need 10 guys dropping out of the game because they don't feel like going.
