The NHL finally backed down and overturned the suspension. They realized the league office bowed to media pressure instead of looking at the facts. We forced them to admit Tootoo was acting in self defense.

Save Jordin Tootoo. This is a petition to inform the National Hockey League that suspending Nashville Predators player Jordin Tootoo is unjust. The reason the National Hockey League suspended Tootoo is for a punch he threw and landed on Dallas Stars player Stephane Robidas. The punch was thrown in self defense as Robidas was charging Tootoo as retaliation on the clean body check Tootoo landed on Mike Modano. If Tootoo would not have knocked out Robidas Tootoo himself would have been laid out. The video is on youtube and the sports channels. Take a look at the replay and decide for yourself. If you agree that the National Hockey League should have left the issue be with the penalties that Tootoo received the night of the punch please sign this petition. To The National Hockey League, We the undersigned hereby would like to state that the suspension of Jordin Tootoo is unjust. We feel that justice has been served to Jordin Tootoo during the night of the incident with the penalty time served. Jordin Tootoo's action was in clear self defense. We feel that you proceeded as the media suggested and suspend Jordin Tootoo for games that were not called for. No one is touching on the issue that Mike Modano hit Jordin Tootoo with the intent to cause harm. We feel that the media blew the entire incident out of proportion. You should retract the suspension of Jordin Tootoo.

The NHL office is ignoring the blatant evidence of self defense because they are too concerned with the media narrative. I am tired of watching them punish players who were only protecting themselves from being laid out on the ice.

The NHL can try to bury the truth under their biased officiating but they cannot ignore the groundswell of support we have built. This momentum proves that fans see right through their pathetic attempt to target Tootoo while ignoring the real aggressors.

Free Tootoo! The refs saw it happen and gave him his time. Why punish him twice? Ridiculous.

Tootoo did what any player would do in that situation. Keep your head up Robidas.
