It's hard for the big name skill players to understand. When you have the role that I have in this league, you can't help but wonder if the referees and the league are out to get you. I am not just trying to seem paranoid. But when you have been suspended for these things at least six times in your career, you start to be paranoid.

But because I have the number 36 and the name R-O-Y on your back, you get suspended for three games. Anyone else who shoots their mouth off or makes a gesture gets a ten minute misconduct. With me? They suspend me. It is really like they just like to mess with me. I get suspended for abuse of an official, when everyone is wondering where exactly the abuse was. It sucks!

Torts says I need to be disciplined. And I am trying very hard. I want to fit in the system and I want to be unselfish and help the team. You just have so many emotions going and you can't say anything? You used to be able to say what you think and get the emotions out. That is one of the problems with the "new NHL".

It is not always good being an enforcer.
