    How Callahan doesn't get at least a game for his hit on Letang last night is a complete disgrace. There's nothing left to say really because this selective punishment has been going on for way too long. Does a guy have to die before they ever act?

    ^^^^^Could not agree more, Vic. There are valid reasons
    why this league operates on a 'bush' level. I'm really sick
    of the NHL's ambivalence when it comes to player safety......
    leaving fans frustrated.

    It's a miracle Callahan didn't seriously injure him. I don't know if they released their fairy take video yet but I'd love to hear the explanation from that moron Quintal.

    On one hand I completely agree. It was a bad hit. On the other hand Letang is a cheapshot artist and he got what he deserved.

    The victim and his past is not the point. This is a league problem and they need to get their act together on it. Otherwise you're just going to see stuff like this continue and then maybe if someone is hurt enough they will take action.
