Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta has been suspended for two games, without pay, for an incident in NHL game #356 against Philadelphia Flyers forward Jared Ross, Friday afternoon, the National Hockey League announced today.

Kaleta will miss tonight’s game against Carolina and Nov. 30 at Toronto. He will be eligible to return December 3 against Montreal.

and Oven Chicken gets NOTHING! for the same type of hit on Kaleta. This only proves that the NHL will stand by their :star: players and won't suspend them!

"[Ross] knew he was coming," Ruff said. "He took a quick look right before, and then he turned. The difference there is it was a young player called up, he knows he's going to get hit on a heavy forecheck, and at the last second you're asking our player to hit the brakes."

Total BS. He turned to avoid the check and he put himself in the position to kiss the glass.

As we've seen in the past, regardless of the law of motion/physics, if you hit a guy at the wrong time you'll pay the price.

I wonder if there will ever be a day when the hittee gets the blame.

That's why I said "reputation". You do know that almost all fans not of buffalo thinks he is dirty. Not that they are correct really but that is his reputation.

man the overt double standard is downright embarrassing for the nhl

not that im surprised, its a well known part of their legacy, but to be so blatant with two crystal clear examples in back to back games is just another black eye on the league

You're right. Colin Campbell has been sitting by his TV just waiting for Kaleta to make a hitting that is borderline suspension-able to nail him...Now he was able to release his wad.

That is wrong. Ovechkin is the repeat offender, not Kaleta. Kaleta may have a reputation for late hits or charging or whatever, but Ovechkin is the one with the wrap-sheet.
