NHL WHEEL…OF…PUNISHMEEEEEEEEENT!

Patrice Purrgeron is known for many great things. One of them is bringing me on to Days Of Y’Orr to bring the facts in an angry rant. Not only is he a great GM and well groomed, he’s quite the special agent. Mr. Purrgeron has exposed what the Bruins bring on away games, found the real letter Cam Neely wrote to season ticket holders, given Nathan Horton the confidence to score a goal and found the Bruins heart.

During the weekly DOY round table meeting where we discuss the finer things in life like pizza and Office Space, Mr. Purrgeron threw this tape on the table with a post-it note saying “Watch”. What was discovered is something that many people have been wondering for decades.

With the news of the recent Matt Cooke suspension, a lot of people have been asking themselves how the NHL can hand out such a meager suspension to someone who is a repeat offender. Well world, you’re about to get inside information on how the committee makes these decisions.

ROLL TAPE!

After the jump, the shocking truth behind the NHL wheel of “justice”……..

Back to you Gary.

Bettman: And we’re back. That Barnaby’s Blocker is some good stuff, really helped me back in 2005. Okay, our last contestant tonight is Matt Cooke. Matt, the last time on the show you walked away fine, tell the audience what happened.

Cooke: Well, I was skating up the ice and Marc Savard was skating down and skated in to my elbow. Ya know, I’m the victim. Anyways, I was lucky and spun “sunshine and farts” and didn’t have to take accountability for my actions.
