Simon Suspended Indefinitely pending hearing
 

Chris Simon of the NY Islanders swung his stick at Ryan Hollweg on the Rangers last night and hit him right in the face, an inch or 2 lower and it would have been in the throat.

the dbag just got himself suspended indefinitely without pay.

oh, and the rangers scored on the ensuing powerplay and won the game, which Hollweg said was the best revenge.

The hit was worse than McSorely on Brashear....

I saw that on the news earlier. Total clothesline!! That MFer should be banned forever!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap, that could kill someone!

I saw it on the news this morning. It looked like he went right for the throat. Dirtbag :confused:

Kick his sorry a$$ out of the league. Makes me want to update the Potvin S*cks chant to the 21st Century!

There are actually Islander fans on hockey boards saying that it's the refs fault because they didn't call a boarding penalty on Hollweg about 10 seconds earlier.... which btw, was not a penalty. I can't believe that some fans are trying to justify it. (in their defense, there are pleny of Islander fans saying Simon deserves a huge suspension, 1 guy actually apologized to Rangers fans for the other Islander fans)

The worst thing about it is that hockey gets a bad rep because when stuff like this happens non-fans see it....

Yup, can his ass forever! That is so uncalled for!

Not only should they can him.. They should stick his ass in jail for assault.

What a loser, more proof money can't buy class

:rofl:


Pretty ugly, and the 24/7 news guys show it ad nauseum.

No xpert but I've been watching NHL hockey since the mid 50s,
and I thought the usual batches and runs of thuggery had been
weeded out via the new rules and methods.

Let 'em skip the rest of the season and make 'em sweat until
next Turkey Day w/o pay. Long winters in Wawa, Ont., CDA.

Simon's stupidity also was 3 years to the day after Todd Bertuzzi almost landed Dominic Moore's big brother Steve in a wheelchair the rest of his life.
