I'm kind of surprised at the outrage to this 'headbutt' (and...seriously, on the headbutt scale it's got to be a 1 out of 10), it was at best a glancing blow, delivered with almost zero leverage, and it was basically side of the head to side of the head.

I'm more bothered by the charging penalty he got...he zoomed across the ice and left his feet to deliver a blow against the glass, that shit really could have hurt someone but no one except fly seems to have even noticed it.

And now to help Slesh with a completely unrelated matter, Pussy pussy pussy.

See I'm the opposite. The charge didn't bother me so much. Even though he hit what's his face high, he also did it from the front, and didn't make contact with the head. I just see it as getting a little hockey-overzealous. The headbutt, to me, suggest intent to injure a bit more and just seems dirtier.

Sigh, I guess we're supposed to fight to the death now. Is Thursday good for you?

Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) -- Sabres winger Patrick Kaleta confirmed he got fined not once, but twice by the NHL. He was fined for launching himself like a missle behind the net against the Devils earning a charging penalty. Later, he tried to head butt Travis Zajac, but missed. Zajac actually got the penalty on the play.

No word on how much the fines were. Kaleta said, "I'd like to say the head butt was unintentional, but it's in the past, it was dealt with, you learn from it and you move on. I have to focus on the task at hand which is practicing tomorrow and getting ready for a big match on Wednesday."

After a long film session Lindy Ruff practiced the team for about 75 minutes working on five on five play and stressing breakouts.

No need for violence, just tell her she's got a game misconduct and show her the door.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.

You don't 'defend your team' by trying to headbutt. Period.

The decision to fine was correct.
