Brashear has a reputation similar to Avery where he's going to get punished based on his reputation alone. Brashear has been a piece of [expletive] cheap shot artist all his life... he didn't get suspended 6 games just for the hit on Betts... he also got 3 games for the pre-game altercation I believe. However, Avery doesn't cheap shot and intentionally try to injure people. I get the whole reputation thing, I just don't agree with it. If there isn't some set "three strikes" policy or something like that, every act should be treated on its own. Not to start a who's crime is the biggest, but Burish and Camaleirielli not even getting suspensions and Brashear getting 6 does not seem right. The NHL has a huge problem with consistency. This is not me trying to say that what Burish did was as bad as Brashear or what camelaieirwll did was worse that Lucic or anything like that. What I am saying is that they all were cheap shots with intent to injure. That is without question. So how does the NHL determine the punishments? To me it just does not seem consistent. I completely agree. It's got to be based on the resulting injury. Betts had a broken orbital bone or something like that. So Brashear gets a more severe penalty. Wow, brawl in this one!
