NEW YORK - NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman considers those complaints from various teams about their players receiving suspensions during the post-season as nothing more than "gamesmanship." Take the Washington Capitals statement disagreeing with the one-game ban for centre Nicklas Backstrom. "That doesnt mean anything. They didnt like it," Bettman said Friday. "The fact is, it was a cross-check to the face. It deserved a game." Criticism of the leagues disciplinary decisions as inconsistent is simply a matter of perspective, Bettman insisted during an Associated Press Sports Editors meeting. Nine players were issued suspensions through the first eight days of the playoffs. Those included two games for Vancouver forward Byron Bitz for a hit to the head on the Kings Kyle Clifford and three games for Chicagos Andrew Shaw for running over Phoenix goalie Mike Smith. "Everybody will have a different view," Bettman said. "In Vancouver, they probably thought Bitz was being picked on and got suspended for too much. In Chicago, everybody felt that Shaw shouldnt have been suspended at all because Smith was faking." "Not the case," the commissioner quickly added of the accusation against Smith. Bettman spoke shortly before league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan was scheduled to hold a hearing with Phoenix forward Raffi Torres, who is suspended indefinitely for launching himself into Chicagos Marian Hossa on Tuesday. Hossa was taken off the ice on a stretcher and briefly hospitalized, but Torres wasnt penalized during the game. Bettman said he couldnt comment on the case while the process was ongoing, saying only, "Most people who have observed it think it shouldve been a penalty." Bettman didnt think it was feasible to change in-game officiating in a way to ensure that similar calls arent missed. "Our game is too fast, taking place from too many different angles that vary from building to building," he said. Shanahan has been criticized for not suspending Nashvilles Shea Weber after he smashed the head of Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg into the glass at the end of Game 1 of their series. Weber was fined $2,500, the maximum allowed under the collective bargaining agreement. Bettman deemed the punishment appropriate, saying the situation "has been blown completely out of context." He suggested that the distinction between the maximum fine and a one-game suspension -- which he said was the most hed heard anyone call for -- wasnt meaningful in deterring future offences. "It was a clear statement that what he did was wrong," Bettman said. "I have pretty high confidence in Brendan Shanahan -- having been on the ice recently and the type of player he was -- he knows exactly what took place there and how big a deal it was. ... Whether or not it was the maximum fine or a one-game suspension hardly has anything to do with any of the other things were talking about." He added Shanahan "is doing a very, very good job." Bettman proudly noted that the average number of hits per game had grown from 45 during the regular season to 68 in the playoffs through Wednesday. Emphasizing that he was referring to legal hits, Bettman didnt see any correlation between that increase and the increase in suspensions for illegal ones. He considers much of the physical play to be normal for a first round and already notices teams settling down. Still, penalty minutes have been up so far from past years. Bettman said he didnt know when Shanahan would rule on Torres, a decision sure to be dissected, too. "I have confidence in the people that are doing it, even though theyre under intense scrutiny and criticism from both sides," Bettman said. "For everybody who says its too much, there are people who say its too little. For everybody who doesnt like a particular judgment, they say theyre being inconsistent." cheap nfl jerseys .

SHANGHAI, China -- Novak Djokovic saved five match points in the second set before outlasting two-time defending champion Andy Murray 5-7, 7-6 (11), 6-3 on Sunday in the Shanghai Masters final. In another entertaining matchup between the two U.S. Open finalists, Djokovic seemed headed for defeat when Murray was serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set. But the second-ranked Serb saved one match point in that game before breaking back for 5-5. He then saved four more in a tense tiebreaker and carried his momentum into the deciding set, breaking the Briton twice to earn his fifth title of the year. It was Murrays first loss in Shanghai in 13 matches. Murray, who beat Djokovic in five sets at Flushing Meadows for his first Grand Slam title, saved two match points in the final game, but sent a backhand long on the third. In a matchup of two of the games best returners, both players struggled to hold serve early, trading breaks three times, and were ttied 4-4 in the first set.dddddddddddd When Djokovic was broken for the fourth time in the 11th game, he lost his cool and shattered his racket by smashing it into the ground four times before slinging it disgustedly toward his sideline chair. But the momentum seemed to shift with one audacious shot from the Serb, just as Murray appeared to be closing in on his third straight title at the tournament. Trailing 5-4 and 30-0 in the second set, Djokovic chased down a lob from Murray and hit a perfect between-the-legs shot, then followed it up with a drop shot to win the point. He went on to save Murrays first match point with a forehand and broke back when the Briton missed a forehand of his own two points later. In the 20-minute tiebreaker, Djokovic finally prevailed when he converted his fourth set point with a forehand winner. Murray couldnt recover, and Djokovic broke for a 4-3 lead before winning the next two games to wrap up the win. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
