He hit a guy in the face with a hockey stick and got suspended for 25 games. Then, presumably, it's back to work for a guy who physically assaulted someone in his place of business.Tomorrow, throw a hockey stick in your trunk. When you get to work, find someone you don't like and smash them in the face with it. Use two hands, and lunge. C'mon - you know you want to. Chances are, you'd have problems narrowing it down to only one person.
It might be worth the month off, and since you make a million dollars a year like Chris Simon, you won't mind giving up the $80,000 or so that you would earn during the suspension.

New York Rangers' Ryan Hollweg lies on the ice after struck with a hockey stick by New York Islanders' Chris Simon (12) as linesman Tim Nowak skates in and referee Craig Spada signals a penalty during the third period of their hockey game, Thursday, March 8, 2007 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. Simon was given a match penalty for intent to injure.Oh, that's right - he got a penalty, too. Game misconduct or something. They sent him home. I'm still waiting for the criminal charges. Assault or something like that.
Oh, that's right - this is sports, where people can attack co-workers with blunt instruments and the criminal justice system does not get involved.
So, when you whack your co-worker with your hockey stick tomorrow morning, don't be surprised if the police show up and arrest you and charge you with a crime. Then, the lawyer's calls will start. You know the drill.
What a great life professional sports must be. You get to take out your aggressions on your fellow competitors and the penalty is a penalty. You get a month off and sacrifice a monetary amount equal to what some people earn in three years.
The next time somebody tells you that sports is business, correct them. It's apparently some sort of fantasy world where the rules of life are suspended along with the players.

DISCLAIMER: I know NOTHING about sports...But I watched the video anyway.
Here are my observations:
1. I thought March Madness related to basketball.
2. Ice skating is hard. These players make it look easy.
3. Hockey is a violent sport. Even if you are well-intentioned, you can get seriously hurt. If I ever have children, I will do my best to guide them away from this particular team activity.
what, your not going to go with the arguement that hockey players police themselves and this is just fine by them?
Hockey players have to be violent and fight because baseball players can't fight and basketball players just look ridiculous trying to fight.
