    Simon Suspended at least 25 games...

    ...weak but it is a start. Even Brett Hull said that Simon should be suspended until Christmas 2007. I still think that they should just throw him out.

    Did they up it from the 22 reported earlier, or was that just an error?

        Not enough. Especially for a repeat offender.

          Simon will miss New York's final 15 regular-season contests and the entire postseason, if the Islanders reach the playoffs. If the Islanders play fewer than 10 playoff games this year, the suspension will carry over to next season.
          The ban is the longest in terms of games missed in NHL history. Marty McSorley was suspended 23 games in February 2000 for knocking out Donald Brashear with a stick-swinging hit. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stretched that punishment to one year, and McSorley never played in the league again.

            This annoys me a bit though.... I had no clue that Bertuzzi was only suspended for 20 games. That's bull****!

            This is Simon's sixth NHL suspension and the league's longest since Vancouver's Todd Bertuzzi was sidelined 13 regular-season games and seven in the playoffs for his blindside punch to the head of Colorado's Steve Moore in March 2004. Bertuzzi wasn't reinstated until 17 months later, after the yearlong lockout.
