NHL hits Rangers with massive fine for statement on Tom Wilson’s slap on the wrist
NY Post
The Rangers were fined 50 times the amount Tom Wilson was charged after they complained to the NHL about his slap on the wrist.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman levied a $250,000 fine on the Blueshirts for the brash statement they issued earlier this week, calling the league’s decision to only fine the Capitals forward $5,000 a “dereliction of duty” and saying that league disciplinarian George Parros is “unfit to continue in his current role.”You are the face of Major League Baseball, the $700 Million Man, and your close friend, your interpreter, betrays you, allegedly steals $16M from your bank account to pay off his gambling debts. An MLB investigation into The Scandal Heard ’Round the World, from here to Japan and back, thankfully absolves you. It does not cost you your reputation, or your growing legacy.
Whenever seasons like the one the Knicks just completed end, I always find myself back outside the visiting locker room at old Mile High Stadium. I always find myself standing with a handful of writers surrounding Bill Parcells maybe half an hour after the Jets lost the AFC Championship game to the Broncos.
