This is one of the biggest problem with the league. It is THEIR job to protect players. It is THEIR job to enforce rules.
But they don't do it consistency.
And here's the really neat thing. If the league had the stones to suspend a player over this type of thing, WHICH THEY SHOULD, then who would be first in line to appeal it on behalf of Eric Staal....the NHLPA.
The entire system if flawed to the very core.
The ONLY players that get protected are the ones that break the rules - because the PA at least has their back.
A joke.
