Jesse Boulerice suspended 25 games
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.

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

Re: Jesse Boulerice suspended 25 games
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. |
