If you haven't seen anything about this yet, it is kind of ridiculous. The guy on the Snapshots blog on mlive has pretty good handle on it and sounds pretty ticked off. blog.mlive.com/snapshots/If you read Ken Holland's comments he really sounds pissed off. |

I do understand where the league is coming from, but they are being suspended because they aren't going to Montreal to hobnob with the sponsors not because they aren't playing at the game. Crosby isn't playing but since he is in Montreal kissing Betman's butt, he isn't getting suspended. Steve Mason, who is probably the hottest goalie out there, is skipping the Youngstars game because he is tired (and he is banged up), will probably be in goal Tues night against Detroit while Nick and Pav are sitting in the press box. The other crappy thing is that since they are being suspended with pay the Wings cannot call anyone up from Grand Rapids, so they will have to play with only 16 players on the bench.
The worst is listening to Crosby through the Wings players under the bus for not going.
Oh well not like I was going to watch the game anyway. Hopefully, Nick and Pav will be at the Royal Rumble on Sunday, since I think it is at the Joe.

The other thing is that Bettman didn't announce the suspensions until after Crosby showed up at Montreal today even though he is not playing in the game. You know if Crosby did not show there would have been no suspensions. Bettman is not going to tarnish his golden boy.
