OK, Brendan Shanahan, your move...

I still intend to do that misogyny article -- I've shown parts of it to some friends, and I was told by one of them that the stupidity might keep dragging it back.

That friend was correct.

Ladies and gentlemen, Brendan Shanahan has a problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our next Todd Bertuzzi incident.

As you might recall, Todd Bertuzzi ended the career of Steve Moore with a bulldog to the ice in 2004.

After a first-period fight, Bertuzzi targetted Moore late in a lopsided game.

This was before the league really went "Player Safety" and shots to the head.  Even at this point, Bertuzzi was banned from hockey (not just from the NHL, but the international federation as well) for 17 months.

We've got another one.

After a hard check in the first period by Pittsburgh's Brooks Orpik, this happens...



During a post-play scuffle, Shawn Thornton of the Bruins takes Orpik, jumps him, pushes him backward and forces his head into the ice.  He then pummels him with several punches, and it appears a possible knee as well to his head.

It's not even known at this point whether Thornton didn't leave the bench to do this.

Ok, Shanahan, your move.
