George Parros buzzed out of the NHL board of governors meeting Tuesday after being a fly on the wall for two days in Pebble Beach, California.
There were no grand presentations made by his department of player safety to the billionaires in the room. The biggest topic of conversation was physicality off the ice, between abusive coaches and players.
Sometimes at these meetings, Parros is asked to explain trends of violence in the NHL or his department's own controversial decisions. But in a season in which the most notable suspension was for a loogie hocked by Garnet Hathaway of the Washington Capitals at Erik Gudbranson of the Anaheim Ducks -- a three-game ban that wasn't even in his jurisdiction -- things have been quiet for Parros & Co.
