Shanahan promises transparency as disciplinarian - NHL - Yahoo! Sports

every time Shanahan and his colleagues announce a suspension, they will release a video simultaneously explaining what they saw, everything they deliberated and why they settled on that certain sanction. It might be on a case-by-case basis, but they hope to release a video after each disciplinary hearing, not just each suspension, so they can give an explanation when they decide not to take action, too.

“You might not agree with our decision, but you’re going to understand how we got to that decision,” said Shanahan, the NHL’s vice president of player safety and hockey operations. “This is not a black-and-white job. ⦠It’s not completely predictive. But over a certain amount of time, I hope that they sort of start to understand what the strike zone is.”

GOOD! Great step. They are finally getting that transparency is the way to go. People forgive if they understand why.

Love it. He may be the first "face" of the league that I love.


In a non-gay way...

I knew when the league hired Shanahan that good things were going to happen. Shanny was a selfless team player when he skated in the league, he put the game ahead of himself during the lockout, and now he's in a position to do some real good. I'm sure I won't agree with all of his decisions, but at least knowing that he put some thought into it and seeing some consistency will be nice.

I don't like the transparency. The NHL dean of discipline = the Wizard of Oz - he only works well behind the curtain. Take the curtain away and the aura and mystique of the position goes with it.
