The NHL's Department of Player Safety has proven that they can make even the most obvious of decision look like a difficult one, so I won't say that the following suggestion could make their job easy. However, I will say that having a representative follow the New Jersey Devils around from city to city could give them a live, instantaneous, non-TBD look at what appears to be a conspicuous, league-wide attempt to literally knock them out of a playoff spot. Seriously, would it kill the rest of the Eastern Conference to at least thinly veil their conspired effort to send the entirety of the Devils' active roster into concussion protocol? I'm mad at about the elbows, sticks, and knees to the heads of New Jersey most dangerous forwards, but not as disappointed as I am in the lack of effort that has gone into insulting their intelligence. I mean, first Brad Marchand...
Then Radko Gudas...
And now Alex Burrows?
Have they no shame? That's legitimately the unholy trinity of soulless scumbags on skates, and they have all taken aim at one particular team within a two week span. Am I really to believe that's just a coincidence?! Hell, even if there's not a price tag on the heads of Devils' players, with the increased focus on head injuries can the NHL really be too safe in regards to protecting players whose skulls are apparently super susceptible to blunt force trauma from any and all parts of their opposition's anatomy? They'd probably screw up the sentencing anyway, but for once it would be nice if the team that's consistently on the ass end of shit calls could actually benefit from a punishment that fits the crime. On a night in which the Devils sucked their way into needing a couple breaks by remaining complicit in soaking the panties of every fan that's bought into the Mike Hoffman trade rumors, an additional two minutes for throwing enough punches and high-knees to fill an in-home workout DVD doesn't feel like justice. Even if Taylor Hall immediately did his best to carry it out...
