Not sure where this goes, but Wisniewski has been suspended for the rest of the preseason plus eight regular season games. Whoa.

[Shep]

Any link to the hit?

8 seems a bit harsh for that, considering wiz's prior suspension was for that oral sex signal.

[MSP4LYFE]

I don't think that is harsh at all...That was a blatant head shot with intent to a defenseless player, and after the period ended to boot. Not to mention Wisniewski's history with questionable hits to the head (Benn, Tavares, and Seabrook).

[Nick]

Ye- players and gm's were told this was coming. I personally hate that hit wiz threw on clutterbuxk, after the horn is pure dirt especially when he's not looking or targeting you, and to target the head. $500k+ should get the message across.

I fucking love Brendan Shannahan. Actual punishment > taps on the wrist.

[Shep]

Agreed. Not that I necessarily agree with the Wiz 8 games, but it's nice to see he's not afraid to punish players. Especially non-goons.

[Lee]

So Mr Racial Sensitivity (Wayne Simmonds) called Sean Avery a fucking fa**ot last night during the game.

[kimmer]

Yeah but I call ppl that all the time.

[anton]

avery was probably acting like a faggot. not sure what the problem is

[Lee]

Oh, no problem at all. Just kinda funny that the guy who was acting so meek and dismissive about the banana incident does this like 2 days later.

[Nick]

Anyone believe Avery said nothing to get Simmonds to insult him? Trash talking happens, how often can Avery break the code? The media has given Avery way to much power.

I'm not even sure I believe Avery.

[Lee]

Apparently you can see Simmonds mouthing it on a video replay. Seems legit.

Avery is slime, so it wouldn't surprise me if he did egg him on.

[Nick]

What do you mean egg him on. It's hockey, regularly you'll hear comments about playes' wife, daughter, mother, father, son, ethnicity, religion, face, etc. This isn't public speaking or a political debate.


I doubt he was using faggot in an anti-homosexual protest, he was liking using it in the same way Louis CK does:

Avery was being a faggot, not because he was being gay.

[Chris]

Anyone who has played a man's sport AKA hockey, would know that rivals always try to emasculate the other. Simmonds only fault was that he got caught.

[Tony]

Avery is a faggot ... where's the problem?

[Scott]

Avery is a faggot ... where's the problem?

Couldn't of said it any better buddy.. hahaha

[Lee]

Douchebag who threw the banana at Simmonds looks every bit the part.
