The criminal investigation shouldn't make that much of a difference to the NHL investigation, as a decision not to charge does not mean that the NHL couldn't still levy some discipline. However, my guess the NHL would wait until the police comes back with its report, as it can take some semi-legit cover, declining comment until that investigation is over. I have been saying all along though, that IF no criminal charges are laid, I don't think the NHL will discipline. (Or if they do, it will be so minimal (2 games or something) so as to somehow make it worse. Because that is what they do).

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
