Since when has the league ever cared about protecting its stars?
Last time Oilers faced Anaheim in the playoffs, Kesler rode McDavid up and down the ice constantly pulling garbage and never got called.
And if you are biased against the Oilers and want to disregard that, just remember the time that Minnesota slashed Johnny with impunity until they broke his hand.
The NHL cares nothing about protecting its stars, and constantly gives leash to predatory players.
