Thursday Night Habs Links
So how painful was it for Colin Campbell to have to pass judgment in favour of the Montreal Canadiens for a change. Had to hurt a little, eh? Campbell gave the Florida Panthers Krys Barch a one-game suspension for uttering an "inappropriate comment" towards the Habs P.K. Subban on New Year's Eve....
Question of the Week: The Story of 2011
The clock struck midnight, the calendar turned, and we finally put 2011 to bed. In many ways, 2011 was one of the most trying hockey years I've ever experienced, so I was a bit glad to see it go. Because, essentially, lots of bad stuff happened in the 365 days between January 1, 2011 and Saturday,...
No suspension for Wolski; where is the Shanabanhammer?
On Saturday night, Wojtek Wolski caught Daniel Alfredsson with a dangerous elbow to the head. It struck many as a cut-and-dried violation of rule 48, and a predatory hit to boot. Given the precedent set by Brendan Shanahan through the pre-season, it was generally assumed Wolski would be given some...
A hit like that, don't even try to excuse it
Last night's Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Montreal Canadiens game wasn't televised in the Tampa Bay Market... Which was the truth for the majority of the Lightning's pre-season. There were other sports distractions locally anyway. So even if the game was on TV, it would have likely been missed. It's...
Question of the Week: Brendan Shanahan and the Suspension Videos
This pre-season, I have seen more questionable hits and subsequent suspensions than I can remember in recent history. Brendan Shanahan, the new head honcho of suspension giving, aka the Senior Vice President of Player Safety, has had to hit the ground running. In addition to replacing Colin...
How To Be An Effective Head Of NHL Discipline
For 21 seasons Brendan Shanahan played in the NHL. By almost any measure you can think of he was successful; he won three Stanley Cups, finished eleventh all-time in goals with 656, scored over 1,300 points, and is the only player in NHL history with more than 600 goals and 2,000 penalty minutes....

Raw Charge's 2010-11 Tampa Bay Lightning team award winners
With the completion of the 2010-11 Tampa Bay Lightning season, it's high time that we bestow upon the team the 3rd Annual Raw Charge Team Awards. Our first year awards were, well... Nothing much. Our second year awards set the standard that we hope to follow and build upon: Using the five major...
Question of the Week: Changing of the guard at Club Two-Minutes
After a hiatus due to the Tampa Bay Lightning's involvement in the 2011 NHL playoffs, our "Question of the Week column marks its return with a league-news inspired query. If you're like me, or any number of NHL fans, you have not been thrilled with former National Hockey League head disciplinarian...
The taint on the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Two wrongs do not make a right. You cannot do a make-up call for a non-suspension by not suspending someone else for a different rule infraction that should have resulted in a suspension. The Wheel of Justice and Club Two-Minutes lack of consistency and lack of testicular fortitude have been well...
