That's incompetent.
If the NHL wants to have an appeal process that can take this long then fine... allow the player to play pending appeal... but it's patently absurd the way it's done now.

No it's not incompetent. It's a challenging question that you certainly wont attempt to answer, so I don't know why you expect the NHL to be able to decide in a day.
The NHLPA and NHL agreed to the process. Probably didn't think that a player would attack a ref because he was concussed though. Remember this is the same NHLPA that supported an appeal on the Bertuzzi suspension and look how long that dragged out. I don't remember us crying that he wasn't allowed to play against the Flames in the playoffs...
