Disgusting

Last night as I was watching the NHL plyaoffs particulary the Flyers-Buffalo matchup during the intermisssion they kept going for look ins at other playoff games from around the league, and the one game that has really caught my attention was the Tampa Bay - Pittsburgh series. During that game Chris Kunitz a player for the Pittsburgh Penguins delibertly landed an errant elbow to the head of Simon Gagne of Tampa Bay on the replays it clearly shows where Kunitz with much flagerance hits Gagne with his elbow right to his head to which could've caused a serious injury to a player to whom already has suffered conditions from previous concussions during his career, then there is Steve Downie this is the same player to whom a few years ago during the course of a game leaped up from his feet and slammed into a player subsequently getting 20 game suspension for his actions now last night this same player does basically the exact same thing and this time only gets a 1 game suspension, and Mr. Kunitz the same thing. I have to say this in all good conscience both of these players actions warrneted more then just a one game suspension and for the NHL to only hand out one game suspensions to each of these players for this type of behavior I truly think is ridiculous considering that the players to whom they hit could've suffered career ending injuries irregardless of what thier intent is or was their intent and reckless conduct is the same type of behavior that NHL doesn't want in the league and that is the head shots, and cheap shots that take place every night in every NHL city and the league needs to address this type of stuff more seriously moreso than it has.
