Blueshirt Banter, a New York Rangers community

Wait, I was told there would be no math... Anyway, it turns out Dat Horsa Guy chose a team based on stats, not paycheck (though $62.8M certainly helps). Hossa and his agent used a statistical model to determine the teams that gave him the best chance to win it all (finally) and chose the best fit among them. Hopefully the 3rd time's the charm.

From Colin Campbell and the wheel of justice: "I have made the decision that this play does not warrant supplemental discipline after considering all of the facts, including reviewing the video and speaking with Mr. Hossa," said Campbell. "This play is distinguishable from recent incidents by a number of factors, including the degree of contact involved; the fact that the consequences of the play do not appear to be as severe; that this was a hockey play involving a race for the puck; that Mr. Hossa is not a repeat offender; and that the call of a major penalty by the referee was significant and appropriate." That about sums it up right there.
