Willy, why are we not surprised

Also, I fully expect the Hens to target someone in retaliation, especially if they are losing. That squad gets highly frustrated when losing and resorts to dirty play as a response. When they take out a Caps player there had better be equal punishment, at a minimum.

Damn right!
Call Peluso up. If they can get away with Olesniak, then we can, and should bring Peluso up

This proves the league bias to The Hens.
I’ve said they’ve been the two worst/luckiest Cup Winners before, now we can add near proof they’re Cups where fixed

The third was for doing what Cindey does at least 8 times every season yet has never been suspended for it. Willy got suspended for the first game of the season for a hit that happens three times a week in the regular season, and damn near every game in the playoffs. We have the OV rule where his sweater isn't supposed to fall inside the tailbone pad, so during play a player is supposed to make uniform adjustments instead of trying to play hockey. I'm willing to bet OldHats salary that if Wilson had hacked off another players finger there would've been a suspension, but since Buttman's darling did it, it's just an unfortunate hockey play.
Because of fan and player complaints we have the Cindey rule. Yet diving is rarely enforced. When it is, it's somehow matching minors. If a player dives to draw a penalty, how is there an infraction on the other player? If there was no dive, %99.99998 of the time there is no offending penalty in the first place. Has Cindey ever been suspended for his flagrant diving? Or his widely known dirty play? I don't pay enough attention to dirty players to know.
Next I expect to see the new Capitals rule. That would be where any given player isn't aloud to check anyone more than three inches shorter than himself lest there be inadvertent head contact on the follow through. Need I remind everyone that there is no high sticking if it happens on the follow through of a slapshot. I don't understand how that seems logical to the NHL rule makers, if they were truly trying to keep a level playing field.
Bettman used to do an hour a week on the NHL SiriusXM channel where he'd take fans questions. I don't know if he still does. If he does a Caps fan needs to ask him a few questions, and record it, for posterity.
The NHL really pisses me off sometimes.
ArJ, the NHL doesn't screw the Caps every single time they play the Hens in the post season. Last years game 7 looked more like the Caps just giving up when they clearly took the momentum in game 6. So we'll say 9 out of 10 times.
