It’s strange really, the matters of principle over which the NHL chooses to battle sometimes. Not that we should be surprised, though. When the dead-puck era was at its worst and players were being tackled all over the ice, the league took dead aim at divers. And even though far more players get hurt in fights than trying to beat out icings, fisticuffs will never be addressed the way icing infractions have.

And so it was last week when the league made a point of fining Toronto Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson for posting a $600 incentive to the player who scored the winning goal in his team’s 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks, which also turned out to be Wilson’s 600th career victory.
