I don't see what the big deal is. Euros have hockey-player-like teeth, so how can it be a slur?

What was it that Judge Roy Bean replied to the women who complained that he had called them whores?
To: jaykay
The OHL is wrong on two counts here. First of all, it's hard to take any sports league seriously when it gives out five-minute major penalties for engaging in a fight on the ice, and a five-game suspension for insulting (if you could even call it that) an opposing player.
Secondly, Mr. Wisniewski has probably touched a nerve here because of European players' well-earned reputation for generally being averse to the physical side of the game of hockey.
Having said that, this guy probably deserves to be suspended after all. He should have taken the Clymer on and laid a beatin' on him.

Ridiculous. The best way to handle something like that is to drop the gloves.

Well, duh! When in doubt, always drop the gloves. Especially when dealing with a Euro-weenie.
