DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD

Dreger twitter:

Sources tell TSN Colin Campbell is giving up role as NHL disciplinarian. Brendan Shanahan will likely take over

hopefully effective immediately

unfortunately still not ideal ... should be a 3rd party disciplinary panel/committee

I liked Shanny as a player and hopefully he will get this suspension crap straightened out... Good luck to him.

I knew they were reading this board . hes done if they announce that Shanny is running things in the background.

Wow...what a great week. Jets return and Colie is out.

* happy dance *

 

[ELYEAH82]

Well this is way overdue with his son being in the league. Even if he isnt involved in Bruins rulings he can help the Bruins in suspending other players...

 

[puckhead]

Maybe Shanny will remember he owes us one for the time he high sticked Brendan Morrison in the mouth and knocked out three chicklets and some bridgework, and got no penalty for it remember Brendan?
Morrison came back into the game to set up the OT winner, fwiw.

Shanny's always been a straight shooter. It's a positive move but yes, a committee is the obvious way to go.

 

[elocomotive]

WOW! Awesome and unexpected news.

Bettman getting his neck snapped tonight in a freak accident involving Fin and his tshirt giveaway cannon would top it all off

/and a canucks win of course

I have a feeling Colie didn't voluntarily give up his role, there must have been some encouragement to resign...

I saw this and got giddy excited. Thank GOD.

All of this on top of the Stanley Cup Finals. While an individual in this position is not ideal, I think Shanny is as good a candidate as any. Judging by his involvement with the competition commitee he clearly is looking to improve the game and wants what is best for the league.

Fantastic news!

Next they will announce Manimal is being brought back to TV! What a day!

I hope he takes his wheel with him.

First Campbell steps down then there are possible Blake Lively naked photos. One of the best Wednesdays ever.

btw.... Colie is still the referees' boss (VP Hockey Operations), but just won't deal with disciplinary hearings.
so the conspiracy theories are still mostly in place.

yep ... he already named the refs for the series ... his job is done

only think left is to add the refs names and emails to his outlook contacts list

lol... DGB: It feels somehow appropriate to have an NHL Head of Discipline who was once traded straight-up for Chris Pronger.
