>Hatch took care of Mr. Roenick. If the league were truly committed [as quoted by Commissioner Bettman] on cutting down on head injuries by doling out suspensions, why was Roenick not suspended for the hit on Modano? Last time I took Biology, the eye [gash to Modano provided by the butt-end of Roenick's stick] was part of the head. And if the league had not been spineless toward him, he probably would have had all his teeth, a healthy jaw and not missed the playoffs. When the league is arbitrary in its enforcement, players resort to
jaw-for-an-eye justice, which is a shame for such a great sport.
Mark, I couldn't agree more. Of course, if he'd been in Chicago rather than Phoenix, then all of this probably wouldn't have happened. Which is why...Grumble, grumble...
