This was Islanders captain Bill Guerin after practice today in Montreal on the original decision that Chris Pronger would not be suspended for stomping on Ryan Kesler:
"I don't know the reason. It's a mystery. I'm just wondering if there is something personal against Chris Simon - because it was the same action."
Good to see that just because Simon is no longer Guerin's teammate on the Islanders doesn't mean the captain doesn't have his back.
As most of you know, Pronger waved his right to an in-person hearing and instead will do a conference call with the league judge-and-jury on Saturday. By contrast, Simon flew to Toronto for a face-to-face hearing that lasted less than 30 minutes. I hope he at least got some quality air miles out of it.
I'm still having trouble grasping the original argument about the league not having sufficient video evidence, but I've already said too much.
For more, as the great songwriter Joe Jackson once sang, you can read it in the Sunday papers.

"Inconceivable!" ~ Vizzini
Seriously, this is a joke. The only thing consistent with NHL leadership is that it's inconsistent. What a joke.
So if Sean Hill and Syd the Kyd test positive for steroids, should we expect 20 for Sean and a $10 fine for Sydney? Is that the message?
Colin Campbell should quit his job and become a California cop. Then he can bust Lindsay for DWI, leaving the scene, and cocaine possession and give her a warning, and no one will give a crap.
Yea, there is ZERO percent double standard views in this league. 8 GAMES for Pronger? He won't even miss any playoff time - sure give the guy a rest before the end of the season.
This league drives me crazy.
