Nobody is out there in the community getting more involved than me. This is my team and my home. I always try and be a good person. I always try and conduct myself a certain way. The fans feel it.
Journalists try to explain it.
Players often live incident to incident, not certain about which way the penalty winds are blowing. Mike Keenan, the veteran NHL coach, watched the Domi elbow on television that sent Niedermayer to a stretcher and concluded that a one-game suspension was appropriate. Others in the know estimated that Domi would receive anywhere from five to 10 games. The NHL was far more severe than that, given the fact there was a potential of 16 more playoff games to be played at the time of the sentence. Three playoff and eight regular season games, should the Leafs be eliminated by New Jersey, does in no way equal two playoff rounds lost, should Toronto advance.
