i heard hes getting jail time

[wrstlnggator]

Hollweg had it coming, but Simon shouldn't have done it. I'm guessing he'll get suspended for at least the rest of the season.

[leafsrok]

he's done indeffinately, so he could be gone forever, rest of the season, rest of the season + playoffs.....


THE OFFICIAL LENGTH OF THE SUSPENSION WILL BE DECIDED IN AN IN-PERSON HEARING THIS WEEKEND

Shouldn't even get a game. What a terrible non call on the hit that led up to this. Obviously the stick to the face was terrible, I think he should have punched him instead but if the refs aren't gonna do their jobs than the players must.

[leafsrok]

ya, but i absolutely HATE it when people do that stick swinging, sucker punching shit. from behind especially. if you've got a problem, take it upon yourself to drop the gloves and beat the crap out of the guy! i have to agree that was an awful hit from behind by Hallweg(or whatever), that's the kind of thing that gets you 3+ games in my league

[Captain Crunch28]

From the NHL-

NEW YORK - New York Islanders forward Chris Simon has been suspended, for the remainder of the 2006-07 regular season and the entirety of the Stanley Cup playoffs, for deliberately using his stick to injure New York Rangers forward Ryan Hollweg during the third period of Thursday night's game at Nassau Veterans' Memorial Coliseum.

Simon is suspended a minimum of 25 games, including Saturday night's game against Washington plus the 14 that remain in the 2006-07 regular season. If the Islanders do not qualify for the 2007 playoffs, or play fewer than 10 playoff games in the 2007 playoffs, Simon would serve additional games at the start of the 2007-08 regular season to satisfy the minimum term of the suspension.

"The National Hockey League will not accept the use of a stick in the manner and fashion in which Mr. Simon used his Thursday night," said Colin Campbell, NHL Senior Executive Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations. "As a consequence of his actions, Mr. Simon has forfeited the privilege of playing in an NHL game again this season, regardless of how many games the Islanders ultimately play."

Based on his $1-million contract, which expires at the conclusion of the 2006-07 season, Simon forfeits a minimum of $80,213.90. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

The incident occurred at 13:29 of the third period. After receiving a hard check from Hollweg, Simon swung his stick and delivered a two-handed blow to Hollweg's upper body, causing a cut on Hollweg's chin. Simon was assessed a Match penalty.
