    I am quite frustrated with this. Jonathan Toews will be suspended for the next Blackhawks game due to, "illness". He dropped out of the All Star Game with plenty notice, not that I think he needs to give notice at all. After which, the NHL brought up their rule that if the player does not compete in the All Star Game, they are suspended for their next game...

    That is absolutely ridiculous to me. The All Star Game is supposed to be a fun light-hearted event. Not a competition that you are forced to attend. If you are one of the players good enough to be invited, you should get the choice to go or not. I can't find a single shred of a good reason the player would need to be punished. Especially in this case. Towes is sick/injured.

    Let him rest without punishment!
