Despite cries from Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, the NHL will not be taking another look at Sidney Crosby's injurious slash on Marc Methot.
Melnyk appeared on TSN 1200 on Friday and said he was sure the incident would be taken up with the league, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Not so, countered the powers that be.

Crosby shattered Methot's finger with a slash he said was intended to catch the defenseman's stick.
The Senators will now be without Methot's services for multiple weeks, while the two teams won't meet again this season until possibly deep in the playoffs.
Crosby, by the way, wasn't penalized on the play.
