Not only the officiating. What the f.uck is Shannahan thinking? 3 games for Haglin, really? Shea Weber slams Zetterberg head in to the glass like he was George the Animal Steel and he only got a 2500 dollar fine. Phillps elbows Callahan, doesn't even get a hearing. Carkner pretty much jumps Boyle and only gets a game. Waiting to see what Shaw gets for running in to Mike Smith. Maybe it will be the death penalty (for the record that was another bulls.hit call).
Sid's an absolute douche.

once again, lack of consistency. one thing i don't like is they seem to consider whether the victim of the blow(s) suffered serious injury. what does that matter? the intent is to injure. if some are able to escape serious injury, why should the offender get less time? carkners punishment is a laughable joke. webers, as well.
i wonder what asham will get after his bs behavior yesterday?
smith will get games-and i don't think there was intent at all in that case. but they're protecting goalies these days like they do qb's in the nfl. look at how many goalie interference calls there are these days, it's hilarious.
and the refs are inconsistent as well. holtby gets a 2 minute minor for hitting a bruin the other day, thomas gets nothing for hitting backstrom in the face. but the elbow's seem to be flying right now, and that needs to stop. i'm all for big hits, but there's no need for that crap. neal better get something for going after giroux yesterday. he obviously targeted the guys' head, and got it. and i still think his hit on couterier was intentional, that guy has been sid and gino's cross to bear thus far this series.
and yeah, crosby is a douche. what's up with him sticking the guys glove away from him yesterday? he's like a five year old out there. but then, i think the coach is setting a bad example, the C is following right along, and the whole team is imploding.
