Steve Ott is a tough guy. Not in the Derek Boogaard sense, because Ott has a ton more skill, but still tough. He has already set a career high with 12 goals in just 44 games played, and Ott has won the respect of his teammates because of his willingness to take punishment in order to make plays around the net.

Ott can also be a bit of an agitator, as seen at the end of Saturday's 4-3 loss to Anaheim. He took a couple extra whacks at Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer, drawing the ire of goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere and enforcer Travis Moen.

Welcome to another exciting edition of the NHL Wheel of Discipline! Our effort to chronicle the stupidity of the NHL's supplementary discipline system continues. Just remember, Sean Avery got six games for a sex joke. Instead of serving as a baseline, it seems to be a forgotten fact at NHL headquarters.

I had no clue about NHL rule 47.15 until after Thursday's Minnesota win over Edmonton. The rule calls for a match penalty (with automatic one-game ban) whenever a player "wearing tape or any other material on his hands (below the wrist) ... cuts or injures an opponent during an altercation." Watching this video of Edmonton defenseman Sheldon Souray whaling on Craig Weller of Minnesota, it's pretty clear that Souray uses his wrist pad as a weapon.

It's not often that we take requests with the NHL Wheel of Discipline. Buffalo's Drew Stafford, however, has put us in a position to at least consider it. He left Chicago defenseman Duncan Keith wobbling during the second period of the Blackhawks' 4-1 win over the Sabres.

When you watch this hit at normal speed, you might not think much of it. However, the replay tells a bit of a different story. It's clear as day that Stafford leads with his elbow, and he got Keith right in the head.

Is it worthy of a suspension?
