sabreman Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 well look at it this way: if a guy gets suspended for a long time his team will probibly loose respect and not put him in the playoffs(if isles make it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 The decision is in. Minimum of 25 games, and he won't play at all this season or postseason. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&p...rticleid=290330 This seems appropriate.

Bmwolf21 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Better than the original "22 games, might be back if they advance" suspension that was rumored yesterday. But then again, who knows if Simon would have seen the ice during the playoffs anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersabre Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 This is at least a start. According to the article I read on TSN this is Chris Simons fifth suspension spanning a 14 year career for various infractions. It really didn't define what those infractions were.

TheCOOOOOKieMonster Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 guys have gotten suspended for much less- for accedental type stuff. you could see it on his face the second he got hit that he was gunna do something about it. anyone who saw his face knew that he knew what he was doing. he had every intent of harming him, and he followed through. thats that he wanted a penalty for his hit- it was clean, and he should of been looking.

Glad to see the NHL finally laying something on people like Simon. Now if only we could get the same out of them for people like Chris Neil. There's no place for goons like them.

Kristian Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 If you are reading this Colin and company, I think 22 games is about right. Wipe away the regular season and at least one playoff series. Are you kidding me? Anyone who loses their cool like that on the ice doesn't belong there, period. Simon is a goon, and the league will better off without him. Send this clown packing permantently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon is a goon, and the league will better off without him. Send this clown packing permantently. But, but, but....he was GROGGY from Hollweg's illegal check...you can't expect him to be responsible for his actions! <_< As much as I think the "rest of the year" suspension is appropriate, I would like for them to make him apply for reinstatement next year and have Ace and Gary review whether or not he should be reinstated... This is at least a start. According to the article I read on TSN this is Chris Simons fifth suspension spanning a 14 year career for various infractions. It really didn't define what those infractions were. Here is the list from ESPN: March '07: 25** games for Stick attack March '04: 2 games for Kneeing Jan. '04: 2 games for Cross checking April '01: 2 games for Elbowing April '00: 1* game for Cross checking Nov. '97: 3 games for Alleged racial remarks **Suspended for rest of 2006-07 regular season, playoffs. If that doesn't equal 25 games, suspension will continue into 2007-08 season. *Occurred during playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
