Yet another bit of bad news for hockey in terms of violence. The "semi-clean" hit Neil put on Drury last month that ended in an all on ice fight. Drury got his butt handed to him, but he wasn't skating with his head up. Big open ice hit... finished the check, didn't leave his feet... the kinda hit Scott Stevens put on forwards who skated with their heads down.
Either way, none of this stuff is good for the NHL right now.
As for Simon, I ALWAYS hated that goon. Talk about a worthless player. Looking back, I wonder where the Dave Brown cross check on Tomas Sandstrom and the Ron Hextall slash on Chris Chelios fall on the "what kind of hit was that" scale.
[edit] Just watched the preceding hit... Hollweg not only left his feet, but Simon was facing the boards. Did not look like a clean hit to me. Either way, no excuse for what Simon did. God I hate that guy.
