What is up with the department of player safety?  I looked briefly at the headlines today and saw  3 players recently fined.     Fines now for game penalties?

These are now fines for minor penalties.    In the past it was only major penalties that were assessed fines.   I didn't realize that there was some rule change new for this season.

I guess if all these "finings" continue, we may find ourselves in a league where EVERYONE is a Lady Byng candidate.

Watch for it...
Calls and fines for 'roughing the puck carrier'
'Excessive celebrations after goals'
'Damaging the ice surface by skating too hard moving up ice'
'Goalie penalties for taking too many water sips during TV time outs'
:ph34r:
