I've been very busy with work lately so I haven't had much time to update in the last week but I hope to find more time in another week or so. In the meantime, here is yet another Clip of the Week for you to enjoy.
The NHL season is underway and that is cause for celebration in Canada. The rest of the world could probably care less but that's their problem if they can't come grips with the greatness of the coolest game on the planet.
Just before the season began, Philadelphia Flyers rookie Steve Downie made himself known to Dean McAmmond of the Ottawa Senators. Shortly after this incident he had a meeting with the NHL disciplinary folks and was handed a 20 game suspension to start the season. The reason may or may not appear obvious to you in the following clip.
Personally I agree it was a cheap hit and he deserved to be punished but I think 20 games is a little severe. I think this could come back to bite the NHL when a marquee player does something similar and the league won't want to dish out the same punishment but will need to if they don't want to look even more foolish.
What do you think....did he deserve the 20 games?
