Don't forget that we have Dion Phaneuf who hits them "Face to Face".  |
When the author of that article correctly identifies Hollweg as being on the RANGERS, I'll take him and his opinions seriously
"That said, they weren't nearly as condemning as the NHL brass that banished the New York Islanders tough guy for at least the remainder of the season and any playoffs -- miniumum 25 games -- for his vicious high slash on New York
Islander Ryan Hollweg Thursday night ."
I watch almost every Rangers game either live or on "Rangers in 60" replay, and I watch the Islanders, Devils and Flyers as often as I can, , and I have center Ice so I watch a fair amount of hockey, it's safe for me to say that Hollweg is not a dirty player (i've watched him his entire career) Trust me I'm a fan of the game, I'm no fanboy, I'm too old for that crap. Was 25 games a lot? Yup. But that was one dirty play by Simon, and the fact that Hollweg wasn't more seriously injured was just damn lucky for Hollweg AND Simon. Would you and the Calgary fans have the same opinion or think the suspension was more justified if Hollweg had been more seriously injured?
Just some food for thought...
