The St. Louis Blues will be without the services of Oskar Sundqvist for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. Sundqvist had a phone hearing with the NHL and somehow the league came away with the idea of suspending him for one game.
The suspension shows how ridiculous and biased this league is. There is no way if the situations were reversed, anyone on Boston would be missing a game.
However, there is little media coverage in St. Louis. There are only a handful of television stations and one newspaper. Why should the league fear any backlash from a mid-sized market with such little media power?
