"The intent of the rule is pretty obvious - was the action premeditated, was it sending a message," explained NHL on TSN's Bob McKenzie following the game. "Evgeni Malkin was on the ice trying to score a goal at the end of the game. This one was born more out of frustration, then it was the Penguins trying to orchestrate some late game shenanigans, that is what the rule was put in place for and that is why the NHL reserves the right to rescind the rule if they feel the spirit of the rule is not being violated."
It took them, what 5 mins to come up with this? At least soccer they call the player in when they want to appeal a red card (and thats why as ***** as soccer is, it is a well built machine). The league is making this **** up as they go along.
