Among other duties, Cambell is in charge of handing down discipline to players who violate rules and regulations of the game. Apparently there were some emails that Cambell sent to NHL execs that were made public by blogger Tyler Dellow. How does this relate to the Penguins? There are growing conspiracy theories that Matt Cooke did not receive any discipline for the Marc Savard hit last year because Collin Cambell is not a fan of Marc Savard.
