NHL Punks and Weasels

Seeing Patrick Kaleta of the Sabres shove Brad Richards headfirst into the boards reminded me what a huge punk Kaleta is. Who else belongs on the punk list ?
 
Montreals entire roster... most of Boston and Phillies too. Maybe we should just make a list of people not in Toronto that are not punks?

Kaleta got 5 games. What is a surprise for me is that he has only been suspended twice previously.

Video of "Embellishment City" made by a Canucks fan.  Karma??!!...



 
Wow the plays in that video are disgusting.  Why do the refs not call the diving call, and only the diving call, in such blatant cases?

You know when people criticize soccer for this some of their fans will say it's a very hard call to make on the field.  Then it is suggested that they look at the tape and deal with it after.  I know it would be a hard sell to the NHLPA, but maybe they need to start handing out fines and suspensions for repeat offenders to cut that crap down.

All I know is that if plays like in that video don't come with consequences they are just going to get more popular, and if our game turns in a soccer-style diving competition every game I'm going to be pissed.

Has this not already been in place for a while? You don't hear about it being enforced, but I thought it was already there.

Not sure what the point of showing Bostonians rioting was, especially coming from a Canucks fan.
