Pouring salt on my (broken arm) wound

I guess I were the last to know this one. I did not find out until last night that not only was there no penalty called against the moron who broke my wrist during the game on 6/24, but the ref (who I wager voted for Obama - that's the only feasible explanation for him) called me for a 10 minute penalty after that incident. A bloody misconduct penalty! I suppose it's my own fault. I should have politely skated off the ice after getting my wrist broken by a cheap hit, especially when it was obviously such a clean play (since no penalty was even considered to be called at the time nor throughout that game against that slash-happy team...even though I had spoken to said ref previously that game about that specific issue...hmmm, I find that little tidbit pretty ironic). Riddle me this, did I break my own arm after passing the puck up the boards to my teammate and getting hit 2-3 seconds thereafter?!? What's the penalty for getting knocked out with a concussion? Delay of game?!?

Don't forget to give credit where credit is due...the refs were Jay Parkin and Kevin Coty.
