The NHL has finally decided on Mark Bell’s punishment and thankfully he will be serving his fifteen game suspension as part of the Toronto Maple Leafs and not wasting a Sharks roster spot, like he did last season. I think the punishment is just and sends a message to all hockey players and professional athletes that drinking and driving sucks and criminal behavior will not be tolerated by the league.

Speaking of drinking, Hockeybuzz.com blogger Howard Berger must have had a few Canadien whisky shots when writing the following words, “Mark Bell Comeback Player of the Year”. Read for yourself – obviously they haven’t been exposed to this overrated player that provides some good thrills as a goon but little else in the way of skill. Anyone who runs from a hit and run car accident doesn’t have the character to mount a comeback. He should call Lindsey Lohan and maybe they can be cellmates?
