For break his stick across the face of Ryan Kesler.
Jesse hit Steve Downie was suspended 20 games for a brutal hit on former Flyer Dean McAmmond. Steve Downie hit WTF is up with my Flyers? They're crossing the line with brutality |

Sooner or later the league will have to suspend one of these clowns for life. I love the violence of hockey, but sticks to the head are stupid and cowardly.

Wow. [censored] meatheads. 20 games no pay plus a couple hundred grand in fines seems about right.

thankfully they got this one right [/ QUOTE ] Not really, IMO. No more than 2 weeks after Downie gets 20 games, Boulerice decides to break his stick on someone's face. Until Colin Campbell/the NHL banishes one of these goons for life, the message will not be sent. |

Probably best for Boulerice that he used his stick and didn't try to drop his gloves

25 ties the record for longest ever in the NHL. This is pretty much right on par with Simon's from last year. It's run as a legal system with precedents and such you can't just look at an isolated incident and say 50 games. He's technically a repeat offender with the OHL baseball swing which was way worse than this but CPA rules say offenses in none NHL/AHL games don't count so 25 is right on par considering Kessler got up and practiced the next day. I think intent is more important than result but it seems to be the other way around in determining discipline.

[/ QUOTE ] oh gimme a [censored] break - boulerice is a 50-50 shot never to play in the NHL again, he wasn't a particularly good fighter/enforcer, and he's had two incidents where he's just lost it on the ice. a lifetime ban could never be enforced. however, for a guy like boulerice who's probably only made $2-3 million in his career, the loss of that money and probable waiving/demotion could hurt quite a bit. |
