See I Told You So: Now They're Suspended
Ladies and gentleman, Gary Bettman has pulled the ultimate power trip and followed through with his threat to suspend players who don't show for All-Star festivities when they've been selected. Crosby is participating in all off-ice events, Lidstrom and Datsyuk? No shows. Bang. Suspended.
From TSN.ca
The NHL says it will enforce an understanding that all players who decline to show after being named to the All-Star teams must miss at least one game before or one game after the All-Star weekend.
NHL vice-president Colin Campbell said that the league pushed for the rule because too many players were skipping the game without good reason.
Well there you go. Tell me that's not the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen. That little gnome is serious about selling the game. Hell this thing is being televised in Mexico for God's sakes. Man, this is funny.
Not a big deal though, Detroit plays Columbus first game back.
