Final Thoughts:

Per Tarik from the (Com)Post no automatic suspension for Jason Chimera which once again makes us wonder why the NHL even bothers from time-to-time.  While we didn't see what Jay Rosehill did to John Carlson we once again wonder, would Rosehill have taken that run at Carlson had he not been looking to start a fight?  Furthermore, we should note that Rosehill compounded the whole thing with two violations of "The Code...er...Crock."  First, he landed punches on Chimera well after Chimera had fallen to the ice and the linesmen had intervened.  Secondly, he then tossed his helmet at Chimera as he was being lead away.  We fully expect the other NHL players to police the game as they so often do and "send a message" to Rosehill that his violations of "The Code...er...Crock" will not be tolerated...

47 down, 35 to go.
