When can we expect to hear the NHL's decision on the stick to Joel's face on Wednesday? and how long should the suspension last? If you didn't see the game, the incident happened in the first period but I haven't been able to find video of the play on the you tube. If you compare this cheap shot to the play that resulted in Shane O'Brien receiving a 2 game suspension,  believe Ballard should get 10 games but I know that will never happen.
