Mir das jetzt alles durchzulesen ist mir auch zu viel, aber kurz gesagt, geht es schlicht darum, dass die Teams bzw. deren GMs von Gary Bettman aufgefordert werden, sich darum zu kümmern, dass solche Zwischenfälle wie sie in den letzten Wochen immer häufiger vorkamen, in Zukunft zu unterbinden. Andernfalls drohen drastische Strafen! Aussagen diverser Trainer, nach Angiffen auf einen ihrer Spieler, die verbal quasi zur Rache aufforderten bzw. ermunterten, werden in Zukunft nicht mehr geduldet und ebenfalls bestraft. Ebenfalls bestraft werden wohl in Zukunft Aktionen der Trainer, die am Ende eines Spiels ihre Tough Guys auf das Eis schicken, mit der Absicht die Stars der anderen Mannschaft zu jagen...

Meiner Meinung nach völlig richtig! Es muss endlich was passieren, damit diese dreckigen Fouls und unsportlichen Aktionen aufhören!

"The reference was more to us and Vancouver, that when the game is over, don't be shooting your mouth off about revenge and those kind of things," Clarke acknowledged. "Even though it is an emotional sport, once the game is over, you can't say we're going to get this guy or that guy. The players might say it in the locker room, who knows. But it is up to the coaches and managers to make sure this does not happen."

Hitchcock said over the weekend that he had neither seen nor heard of the memo.

"I haven't talked to Hitch about it," Clarke said.

However, Clarke has already taken action. After receiving the memo, he spoke to Donald Brashear before Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. Clarke said he told Brashear there would be no retribution against Rangers center Bobby Holik, who gave Keith Primeau a concussion on Feb. 12.

"I said to Donald Brashear, `Look, just play hockey. It is not your responsibility to go after Holik. Just play the game. If you get a chance to hit, then hit. All you can do going after a player is hurt yourself and your team and we can't allow it.' "

Clarke said he and Hitchcock previously addressed their players before the March 5 game against the Senators. Clarke said he made it clear that none of Ottawa's skill players, including Havlat, Daniel Alfredsson and Marian Hossa, would be targeted during the game in Philadelphia. Havlat high-sticked Mark Recchi across the face on Feb. 26.

"We told our players, `No one goes after Alfredsson, or Hossa or Havlat,' " Clarke recalled. "But at the end of that game, what happened? They sent guys out to beat up on two of our players who don't fight. ... Does that prove you're tough because you can beat up someone who doesn't fight? There has to be some honor and decency in our game. Can you teach that?

"Going after the really talented players has never been part of our game. That's why I didn't want Donald Brashear running after Alfredsson. That is not proper ... "

Clarke said he agreed with Bettman that the coaches and general managers have to assume a greater share of responsibility for player's actions.

"I guess you can blame managers and coaches for not talking to people and make the players understand," Clarke said. "Make them understand you play the puck and that the whole goal is not to just hurt people, but to score goals."

Clarke said that what Senators head coach Jacques Martin did at the end of the March 5 game - sending his tough guys onto the ice to fight when the score was 5-2 - is the kind of behavior for which Bettman will now hold coaches accountable.

"Rob Ray hasn't played all year and then they send him out with three minutes to go to fight Brashear," Clarke said. "Jacques Martin wasn't going to go on the ice to fight Donald Brashear if he were a player. Why do that to a player?

"That is the coaches' fault. There were no specifics in the memo on that, but that's what we're talking about as far as coaches' responsibility."

Bettman warns teams about on-ice violence

By TIM PANACCIO

Philadelphia Inquirer


PHILADELPHIA - NHL commissioner Gary Bettman sent a memo to all 30 teams last week warning coaches and general managers that, effective immediately, they will be held accountable for their players' behavior on the ice.

Other than Vancouver's Todd Bertuzzi, whose blind-side attack left Colorado's Steve Moore with a concussion and a broken neck, the multipage document did not cite players or clubs by name, according to those who have seen it. However, the memo left little doubt that it was issued in response to a rising tide of violent incidents throughout the league - including the March 5 brawl between the Flyers and Ottawa Senators that resulted in a record 419 minutes in penalties.

"It was a good memo; it was exactly what should have been done," Philadelphia Flyers general manager Bob Clarke said Saturday. "It put responsibility not only on the players, but on the coaches and managers. If these type of things, that are so wrong in our sport, continue, then the coaches and managers will be held as responsible as the players."

Clarke said the memo did not specify fines or suspensions but the message was clear that the league would pursue those options - and it already has. Calgary coach Darryl Sutter was suspended for two games last week for sending players out to fight in the final seconds of a game against Nashville.

The memo also warned coaches and GMs that any public statements regarding "retribution and retaliation" would be treated seriously by the league.

"What the memo says is at the end of the day, the teams are responsible for the climate on their club," one NHL official said. "It's up to the coaches and GMs to turn the temperature down if the heat gets too high . . . And if you don't, you're going to pay for it."

For instance, Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock's statement in Ottawa on Feb. 26 - that someday, someone would make Martin Havlat "eat his lunch" - would now constitute a threat of retribution subject to discipline from the league.
