Paul Zeise: Time to legislate players such as Tom Sestito out of the NHL

Penguins goon Tom Sestito was suspended four games for his cowardly late hit on Winnipeg’s Toby Enstrom Wednesday night.

That’s unfortunate. If the NHL had any clue, Sestito would have been suspended for the rest of the season.

And I’d go one step further: The NHL should have fined the Penguins for calling up Sestito and putting him on the ice in the first place.

That would send a clear message to the rest of the NHL that the days of putting goons on the ice to settle scores are over.
