Keeping up with my NHL Section post-a-day...
Should the NHL think about making high sticking or certain other penalties stiffer?
For instances making High Sticking a 5 minute major to help to deter with players getting hit in the face with reckless sticks. Or should they just make players start wearing visors?

I think they should make Kleenex an official sponsor of the NHL so Sidney Crosby can have a pack on the bench to wipe away his tears...

I fail to see the correlation between potentially blinding players from careless stick work and Crosby. Just me?

it will only be a matter of time until full cages/visors are worn at the NHL level. Don't all players in the AHL have to wear a visor (grandfather rule being used, just like adopting helmets)?
You cannot make penalties more severe. All high sticks are accidental, and it's just part of the game. Penalties are already severe for a high stick and with the penalties as they are now high sticks still happen a lot. I see what you're saying, but further increasing the parade to the penalty box won't do any good for the NHL.
As for Ken's cocky little comment... As a penguin fan would you rather see Crosby chirp the referee and opposing players or sit in the sin bin for 2 minutes? What he's doing is smart. He knows he's the star of the NHL and that the league needs to protect him. Why not make sure the stripes are paying extra attention? Only benefits his team.

I think the league should suspend Crosby. Every night I see that dirty little punk out there recklessly ramming his face into players elbows and the ends of their sticks. How many sticks have to get slightly bent before the league steps in and stops this guy?

I give both Eric and Trev 2 minutes for having no sense of humour.
