Gross incompetence. Shamahan keeps contradicting his own reasoning. Shaw, in the laughable opinion of the incompetent NHL disciplinary dept, doesn't make enough of an effort to avoid contact. Fine, if you say so. They term it "incidental contact" and he still gets 3 games. Shea Weber maliciously tries to injure Zetterberg and gets no punishment. Carkner of Ottawa sucker-punches a Ranger player, then jumps on the defenseless guy he just clobbered and punches him several more times and gets one game. The guy simply has no clue what he's doing.
Good thing we're deep and can replace Shaw for a few games. Mike Smith is a flopper of the first degree and I hope someone runs him tonight and really gives him something to flop about.
