    What the hell has happened to Pecca? He used to be a class guy early in his career.

    My post from another thread:

    Peca got a suspension from a bullcrap call on Friday night. Peca tripped when a Brendan Morrow swept out his leg. They called a misconduct penalty on him because he was pissed it was a non-call. Total BS, then right after, the game misconduct. I have a problem with the ref asserting that Peca grabbed his arm and that grabbing his arm qualifies as "applying physical force". Peca was wearing an 'A' and had a legitimate issue to discuss. That missed call could have cost the Jackets 2 points (and a playoff spot), the least the ref could do is have the balls to turn and face Peca to listen to his beef. I wonder what the punishment would be for Crosby, Ovechkin, or Iginla... I'm guessing not 10 games.

    You tube video:

    Pretty crappy quality but you can kinda see Peca skate toward the official and grab his arm.

    BTW, it's at about the 1:15 mark of the video.

    I must conclude this is one of the lamest things I've seen from this league in a long time......other than the Blackhawks. :wave:
