NEW YORK -- Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw has been suspended for one game for making a homophobic slur during Game 4 of the team's first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series with the St. Louis Blues in Chicago on Tuesday, April 19, the National Hockey League announced today. Shaw has also been fined $5,000 for directing an inappropriate gesture at the on-ice officials during the same game. Shaw will also be required to undergo sensitivity training.
Both incidents took place at 17:56 of the third period. Shaw will miss Game 5 of the series on Thursday, April 21, in St. Louis.
"While Mr. Shaw was apologetic and remorseful for both the offensive comments and the inappropriate gesture directed at the on-ice officials, he must be held accountable for his actions," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "The emotion of the moment cannot and will not be a mitigating factor for the conduct that is expected of an NHL player."
The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

Gee, I guess this could limit towel-snapping in the lockers unless S&M is agreed to.
Put them towels back in the locker or we’ll fine you for micro-butt aggression (unless your target signs a consent agreement)!
Another sport goes to “WIMPTOWN”!
Supposing the Blackhawks didn’t take the ice? That would be something.
So much for Slap Shot.
Susan s***s p***y!!!!
Coach Q ought to bench him for being an idiot. There was no excuse for that behavior, and I don’t mean his language.

LOL, that was even better than Slapshot.
Dunlop, you s*** c***!
All I can get.
Johnny Upton: I’m gonna flash’ em, Joe!
McGrath: No, you’re not.
Johnny Upton: I’m gonna walk down that stinkin’ runway, open up this faggot robe and wiggle my d*** at ‘em! And do you know why? Because I want you to have a heart-attack and die so we don’t have to do this s*** again! You and your f****** fashion shows!
I’ve played hockey with some guys who were the best trash-talkers you’ll ever hear. LOL.
Locker room towel fights the blinding of Larry Driscoll.
Another front in the homo-feminist war on masculinity. There are very few men left, almost none in any business, who will stand up to these jackboot tactics. The NHL has been neutered.
