tough guys Jesse Boulerice, Steve Downie, and Riley Cote on the roster. In the meantime, it would be nice if people talked about Dean McAmmond, and whether his career is in jeopardy because of the hit. He traded for Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell and spent big money to give them. He should sit until November, no matter whether he plays for Philly or in the minors. I totally agree with the 20-game suspension and hope that it applies not only to the NHL, but to the minors as well. But I doubt this will be the last time we see Downie involved in incidents like this. Well, the NHL has sent him a message - loud and clear. In other words, violent incidents have happened in his past that were never seriously punished, arguably sending the message that, because of his talent, he can get away with it.
The rook suffered serious injuries, while Downie ended up getting traded to a better team and eventually was given a spot on the Canadian junior team. Remember that, a couple of seasons ago, when Downie was in junior (Windsor, I think), he beat the crap out of some 16 yr-old rookie on his own team who wasn't showing him enough respect during a team practice.

You have to wonder if Downie's reputation hurt him. Ryan Getzlaf, JanuPhiladelphia Flyers vs. I think they should have padding on the outside as well, or get rid of the plastic. I remember the skinny old pads we used to have, if you hit too hard it hurt you as well. Sounds like vigilante justice, but before the stupid instigator rule, an enforcer on the team would keep this in check.ĭon Cherry said a couple of years ago the new elbow and shoulder pads were to blame for all the concussions because of the hard plastic on the outside of them. I think it was McGratton who said 'just let it play itself out in the league and these kids would never try that'.
Downie, who played parts of eight seasons in the. This will let the young guys know they can't play like that. Former NHL forward Steve Downie went on a lengthy Twitter rant Friday night, taking aim at hockey commentator Don Cherry and the Arizona Coyotes.
DID STEVE DOWNIE GET TRADED FULL
His career was likely over even he made a full recovery in a few weeks.ĭownie hasn't even admitted he did anything wrong, he was just trying to make the team. Plus, McAmmond is a legitimate NHL'er, Moore was only a clinger at best. A blind, fullspeed, airborne elbow hit is a hell of a lot harder than a punch. This hit was just as bad as Bertuzzi's, and no, I am not a fan of his. Didn't Bertuzzi's suspension go through playoffs, the lock-out and into the next season?
