wow, it went from highly inconsistent to actually rigged. 
Let me speak as a statistician for a moment .....
If the situation with discipline were "inconsistent" in some
random fashion, that would correspond to variance in the random variable of the amount of consequence relative to a particular class of hockey infractions. However, if the amount of consequence for a particular class of infractions is
consistently different for some players than for others, that corresponds to the statistical concept of bias. Bias is a much more insidious and provocative cause of error in statistics, because it is much more difficult to measure and compromises the integrity of statistics no matter how much one observes the phenomenon under consideration (whereas one can reduce variance by observing more cases). Bias is also dangerous to the integrity, not just of statistics, but of the science of statistics itself, because people get the sense that "statistics are worthless." Also, bias can creep into statistics not just because of natural phenomena that interfere in some consistent way with the measurement of a variable, but because someone is manipulating the data for his/her own purposes.
