TORONTO - The NHL is growing impatient with the players union while it continues to mull over a proposed rule outlawing blindside hits to the head. Santonio Holmes Jersey . In an effort to speed up the process, the leagues board of governors unanimously approved the head shots rule on Tuesday night even though it has yet to hear back from the NHL Players Association or competition committee. The collective bargaining agreement calls for rules to go through the competition committee before being voted on by the board, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly indicated the league might not adhere to that process in this instance. As we have stated repeatedly in the past, the creation of the competition committee has not eliminated the role of the board of governors in passing and implementing rules that it deems to be in the best interests of the game, Daly said in an email. While we are intent on continuing to work with the PA and the competition committee as we have been doing for the better part of two weeks now, to the extent we do not receive a timely answer, we will have to make our own decisions in the best interests of the game and the players. The union doesnt believe the league has that power. It received a DVD outlining the details of the proposed rule on Friday night and held a conference call with its five player representatives on the competition committee. The NHLPA intends to send its response back to the league this week. Under the CBA, the leagues proposal cannot take effect until it first receives the support of the joint NHLPA/NHL competition committee, and then is endorsed by the NHL board of governors, said union spokesman Jonathan Weatherdon. To date, the competition committee has neither agreed on a proposal, nor forwarded a proposal to the board of governors for its vote. Its the first evidence of a battle between the two sides since the NHLPA fired former executive director Paul Kelly in August. A search is on for his replacement. The NHL is essentially looking to fast-track the head shot penalty that general managers originally proposed for next season. A series of recent incidents upped the pressure on them to act sooner. The 10-man competition committee is comprised of five players, four general managers and Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider. Ottawa Senators centre Jason Spezza, one of the players on the committee, said Monday that the union wanted to tweak the proposal it received from the GMs. Its very similar, said Spezza. Were looking for a Band-Aid fix for the rest of the year in case something happens, but in the long term, we have to sit down together and find a better solution than just tweaking a little rule. It has to be something thats talked about. It cant just be sprung on. Its too bad because weve been talking for two years to try to get something in place, but its hard to find the proper language and the right rule. The NHLPA first expressed a desire to see a head-checking penalty in March 2009. Clearly, there is a desire for some kind change from both sides. The current disagreement seems to be over how the change will be made and who will make it. Brett Favre Jersey .

It was hard to tell by the way he pitched. Burnett took a steady first step as he aims to bounce back from a wobbly season and Mark Teixeira hit his second three-run homer in two games, sending the New York Yankees to a 10-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. "Its a positive step. I was able to use my second and third pitches," Burnett said. "Anytime our offence opens up like that it really helps me out." Russell Martin also smacked a three-run shot, Alex Rodriguez hit No. 614 and Derek Jeter began his march toward 3,000 hits with his first two of the season. Rodriguez drove in Jeter with a first-inning double off Brad Penny (0-1), an early bust in his Detroit debut, and New York opened a 6-0 cushion after two. Burnett, fighting a nasty head cold, was in control from the start and made it through five effective innings. "I feel terrible," he said. "Ive got a sinus infection, throat infection and I cant hear." The right-hander was a wreck last year, going 10-15 with a 5.26 earned-run average and an AL-high 19 hit batters. He also threw 16 wild pitches, cut both hands in a clubhouse fit and showed up one day with a mysterious black eye. He was left out of the rotation for the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota. After losing out on Cliff Lee and watching Andy Pettitte retire last winter, the Yankees cant afford another meltdown from Burnett. With unproven Ivan Nova and aging Freddy Garcia at the back of the rotation, Burnett is a crucial piece of New Yorks post-season plans. "A.J.s going to have a big year for us," Rodriguez said. Beginning the third season of an US$82.5 million, five-year contract, the 34-year-old worked extensively with new pitching coach Larry Rothschild during spring training to solidify his delivery. The result was a 2.77 ERA in 13 innings against big league hitters. More important, he walked none while striking out 11. Burnett (1-0) carried that confidence into his first outing of the season. Working quickly and getting ahead, he pumped in 93-95 mph fastballs and kept the Tigers off stride with his curve and changeup. Burnett allowed three runs and five hits, working out of a jam in the fifth, while striking out six and walking one. He fanned four of his first six batters and threw 58 of 86 pitches for strikes. Mariano Rivera retired Miguel Caabrera on a grounder with two on for his second save. Troy Aikman Jersey. . "The bottom line is, we just havent kept them in the ballpark," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Theyve hit them over the fence. Theres no defence for that." Victor Martinez hit his first home run for the Tigers, a two-run shot off Luis Ayala in the eighth. Austin Jackson had a solo drive off Burnett in the third. Detroit opened the fifth with three straight singles, and a run-scoring groundout by Will Rhymes cut it to 6-3. Burnett struck out No. 3 hitter Magglio Ordonez on a breaking ball in the dirt to end the inning, and four relievers took it the rest of the way. "Just threw everything I could at him," said Burnett, who got a mound visit from Rothschild before Rhymes came to bat. "I really didnt have a lot that last inning." Martin, coming off a strong Yankees debut in the season-opening win Thursday, drove a 2-2 pitch from left-hander Brad Thomas to left-centre with two outs in the fifth, making it 9-3. "Hes been extremely important to us," manager Joe Girardi said. "Hes done everything weve asked him to do." Rodriguez homered to centre leading off the sixth, a rude welcome for right-hander Brayan Villarreal, who was facing his first big league batter. Jeter, who has 2,928 hits, got the Yankees started with a single in their three-run first. He also scored on Teixeiras three-run drive to right in the second. "That was a terrible pitch. Probably the worst pitch Ive thrown in, I cant remember," Penny said. "I gave in. Im down 2-0 in that situation and I gave in and threw it right down the middle." Teixeira, a notoriously slow starter, started 0-for-17 and 3-for-38 last year. He didnt hit his first home run until April 18 and finished the month with nine RBIs in 22 games. Penny lasted 4 1-3 innings, giving up eight runs, seven hits and four walks. A two-time all-star, he was limited to nine starts last season with St. Louis because of a back injury. NOTES: Umpires went inside for a look at the video replay on Robinson Canos leadoff double off the top of the left-field fence in the fifth and correctly upheld the initial call. ... Detroit acquired RHP Pedro Perez from Boston as the player to be named in the deal that sent INF Brent Dlugach to the Red Sox on Nov. 4. Perez was 8-5 with a 3.94 ERA for class-A Greenville last year. ' ' '
