NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League announced Sunday three disciplinary actions resulting from NHL Game #1121 between the Nashville Predators and the Calgary Flames on Mar. 20.

The NHL has suspended Calgary head coach and general manager Darryl Sutter for two games, Calgary forward Krzysztof Oliwa for three games and fined the Flames $50,000 (Canadian).

Sutter has been suspended for player selection and team conduct as a result of events that took place with 2.5 seconds remaining in the third period.

Calgary forward Krzysztof Oliwa also has been suspended for his conduct after being assessed a penalty for physical abuse of officials (Rule 76A, Category III).

"First and foremost the team stands behind our coach and general manager," said team president Ken King.
"We have a difference of view with the league. While we don't agree with the league, we respect their right to make a judgement."

King added that the suspensions will not deter the Flames from their goal of making the playoffs.

"We'll move on an continue to win games and continue our playoff hunt," said King.

The events took place immediately following Nashville's third goal of the game, which was an empty net goal at 19:58 of the third, making the score 3-1.

Sutter will be eligible to return Mar. 25 against the San Jose Sharks.

Oliwa will be eligible to return Mar. 27 versus the Los Angeles Kings. Based on the average annual salary of his contract and under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Oliwa will forfeit $18,292.68. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

The $50,000 the Flames are fined goes to the NHL Foundation.

So where was the league on this with Ottawa, Philadelphia, Vancouver etc?
I didn't see the league suspend crawford when he put bertuzzi on the ice. Suspending a coach for "player selection" is fucking gay. Where's Trot's suspension for saying that he would retalliate? rolleyes:
