NHL media and governance is such a joke.
It's a group of old boys who think within a box when they address discipline, get super outraged over stick incidents and late hits and gloss over anything with the fists because they know what a slippery slope it would be to ever try and crack down on that area.
That incident is one of the most disgusting things I've ever watched as a flames fan, and it has gotten almost ZERO media coverage excepting Hamonic's comments.
I know some people will consider it extreme but that Mantha incident is the kind of thing that seriously makes me not want to have hockey games on when my small kids are around. And actually makes me want to watch hockey less, not more because instead of relaxing and watching a game it makes me feel angry and disgusted.
Someone needs to chop that clip up so that the crime is not buried in the middle and more people see it.
