Fight Videos: Witness the violent glory of hockey's code of justice
Puck Daddy —
One of the many facets of Sloppy-Seconds Gate was that it was a violation of the time-honored "code" that maintains the integrity of the game and serves healthy portions of frontier justice on the ice. Sean Avery made things personal in the media, and players like Jarkko Ruutu felt that violated the code. Yet, at the same time, the NHL's swift suspension of Avery prior to the Dallas Stars' game against the Calgary Flames also robbed an aggrieved party like Dion Phaneuf his opportunity for rebuttal on the ice. Ross Bernstein, author of the hockey book "The Code," ...
Suspension Or Not

All of the sudden, I am Colin Campbell! My inbox was flooded with emails this morning from Preds fans asking for a suspension for the hit Alexandre Burrows put on J.P. Dumont last night.

Waiting For Stanley —
[image] What a bizarre sequence of events that have happened to Joe Sakic recently. He was already out of commission with a herniated disc in his back, and now he'll miss 3 months after injuring his hand in a snow blower accident . Sakic has had surgery on his 3 broken fingers and damaged tendons as a result of the accident. My question is: "How in the blue hell did he injure himself snow blowing?" For one, he didn't run his had over with it. Maybe he was repairing it. Aha! Even more dumb: Sakic is actually fortunate that the injury was not worse.
