How great would this be if the Elite league disciplinary panel had something like this?....

It probably wouldn't change some of the inconsistencies but it would be great to understand why they make the decisions they do. Appreciate that back in the day Brad would have had a show dedicated to himself but thinking about more recent decisions that they've made e.g. Clarke swinging for Carson. It would be great to know what they were thinking and the reasoning behind the various bans.

In case the link doesn't work or I'm not allowed to post it due to forum rules (it's on the nhl.com site)....In short Brandon Shanahan the Vice President of Player Safety (you've got to love the Americans) came on to explain the reasoning behind the decision to award Brad Marchand of the Bruins a 5 game ban using video footage of the incident and also taking into account what had gone on in the game 16 seconds earlier. It gives a clear understanding as to why he was awarded the ban, whether you agree with it or not, at least it provides the information we all crave following the EIHL clueless decisions.

To be fair they have done something similar this season when Video has been available..
Some incidents have not been on camera.
