Ha ha....what a bunch of crap. Why even have rules if they dont apply to the so called stars?

Was listening to XM hockey this morning. I guess there is language written into the rule that allows discretion. The intent of it is to stop 'thugs' from coming onto the ice at the end of games and causing havoc. Malkin is certainly no thug. But he was most defiantly frustrated. Hopefully it will have an impact on the Pens just as Talbot starting a fight against Philly did.
