RK- are you as thankful as I am the Zeiler will not be playing in tonight’s game?

God yes. He may very well fit in better with the style of play the Kings want from their 4th line but… I just hate him so much.

I’m glad someone else shares my opinion of John Zeiler.

The comments over at LAKI are really leaving me dumbfounded. Everyone’s acting with gloom and dispair, but I’m thinking “Really? Haven’t you idiots watched Zeiler play? He’s a worthless minor-penalty magnet:”

I assume he plays exactly like they do down at the local rink. Everyone at the rink hates them too.

Thank goodness John Zeiler didn't clear waivers

That could have been worse…

The NHL is once again influenced by the internet.

Ryan will match Pronger’s playoff suspension total in Anaheim — Pronger certainly got a lot more done for his two games.

I really do wonder how they determine the number of games to suspend. 1 to Stoll, 2 to Ryan. Not saying 1 or 2 is correct or not, but how are they determining that one was worse than the other?

Per one of the comments here, Ryan is a first time offender as well, so wouldn’t 1 make sense?

Foot stomp got a lot of game the previous two times. The other two were way worse, but you can fuck someone up with a skate blade, so I think that’s why.

Didn’t Havlat try to stomp someone while playing for Chicago? What kind of discipline did he get?

This isn’t bout the Hawks tho. This is bout the Ducks and their dirty dirty ways. :)

Pretty sure he got 2 games the first time and 5 games the second time.

More evidence of malicious intent? That would be my guess as to why this got 2 games and Stoll got 1.

Will the Kings Get a Gold Star

for Being Good Big Boys Playing Hard Again!

Fucking refereeing is really fucking stupid if you are going to suspend someone when the refs swallow the whistles the entire game and everything go. Of coarse shit is going to get out of hand if there are no rules. NHL has just got to state the obvious and put out published guidances on changes in the interpretation of the rules for the post-season so everyone knows what the fuck the rules are in the post-season.

What the fuck are the rules in the post-season anyway?
