Chris Pronger was clipped by a stick near his right eye Monday night, raising awareness about the league's indecision for creating a mandatory visor rule. After watching that, I don't understand why any player would even hesitate for a second about wearing a visor.
On Sunday night, the Penguins were playing the Devils when a bizarre penalty situation occurred. Early in the 3rd period, Patrik Elias was called for high sticking against Steve Sullivan who was apparently bleeding, making it a 4 minute double minor penalty. Petr Sykora convinced the official that the penalty was his doing, taking the 4 minute minor. When the game started once again, the Devils managed to score shorthanded. Take a wild guess who scored the goal. Patrik Elias. When the penalty was over, Petr Sykora confessed to the referee that Elias was actually responsible for the penalty, but he didn't want him in the box when the team had to kill a penalty.
Should this be allowed? No call was actually made for this, but it sounds a lot like cheating.
