Breathing is the hardest thing to do.
unifiedtheory said:The thing is though, what is going to stop him from doing it again? You suspend him for this offense and he WON'T do it again. The Sabres and Caps play again, in Buffalo (giving the Sabres last change), later in the season. If Campbell gives Ovehckin a game or two then justice is DONE. Instead, the Sabres know Ovechkin got NOTHING so they have to take justice into their own hands.
Remember what happened the last time a team leader/captain/great player from one team got hit by a guy from another team on a questionable hit and did not get suspended? I do, it was Steve Moore elbowing Markus Naslund in the head, giving him a concussion. Moore did not get suspended either, and we all know what happened the next time the Av's and Canucks played each other. I'm not saying someone from the Sabres is going to go "Bertuzzi" on Ovechkin, I'm just saying that the situation is similiar and the NHL could have put a stop to it NOW.
I don't care if the guy is as clean as Ceasar's wife, he hit Briere into the boards from behind. If Briere was hurt you BET he would have gotten a suspension.
I would have given him AT LEAST 3 games.
i dont think he will do it again because u can clearly see he was upset..he stopped skating...did ya watch the post game interview with him? he seemed sincere......as for moore...ive seen the hit numerous times and i still think its a clean hit.
everyone's allowed 1 F up in my book...he F'ed up...he does it again, he's fair game to any punishment
