insanity_gallops Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Was flipping over to the Rangers-Isles game during a commercial break in the Devils game, and caught the after-effects of a vicious play by Chris Simon. Hollweg checked him into the boards - borderline hit from behind - and Simon was slow to get up. When he did get up, Hollweg was skating back towards him. Simon proceeds to swing his stick baseball-style into Hollweg's mouth and jaw. I hate Hollweg as much as the next guy, but Simon's play was just disgusting and despicable. He'll be seeing a long, long suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I saw that, he's going to be gone for at least 7-8 games. Probably more. At first I thought Hollweg embellished by throwing his head back, but it was pretty bad. Hollweg is known for running around and hitting from behind at times, but I thought he was pretty well behaved in this game. stupid selfish play by Simon, likely cost his team a point.

Vinnie Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Simon should sit for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 wow, the Isles just tied it. I wonder if Toronto gives them the goal. looked to just make it over the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tied? Was the goal disallowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormJosh Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Tied? Was the goal disallowed? The puck was as close to being over the line as it possibly could have (some would say it WAS over the line). It was officially never a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 goal was disallowed. On closer review, there really was no concrete evidence it went completely over the line. I thought a side angle showed it went in, top angle showed it didn't. Nothing conclusive really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puckrock Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I saw that, he's going to be gone for at least 7-8 games. Probably more More. If there's any justice to this joke of a disciplinary team. Simon's actions were worse than when Domi assaulted Niedermayer. Simon should be done for the rest of the season and playoffs if the Isles make it. I'd be embarrassed as hell to be an Islander fan right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdude530 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think the season and the 1st Round of the playoffs is enough. THIS is what the NHL needs to rid itself of, not what Cam did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Imagine if the Islanders miss the playoffs because of one point? You could blame Simon for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Simon has always been a dirty player and a goon! He should be suspended for the rest of the season for that intentional swing of his stick right to the jaw of Hollweg. Lucky Hollweg didn't get seriously injured. Simon is responsible for his stick and actions and the hammer will fall on him by Cambell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampdevil Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I believe Mr.Simon is done for the year. In other news the Isles crapped in thier own bed (again) Helluva goal by sarge tonight Congrats to Marty on yet another 40 win season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Simon should sit for the rest of the season. Agree with you. (Bertuzzi has company now and Wang could sign him for another 10 years ridiculous deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyNice Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Isles got screwed on that disallowed goal. When they show the zoomed in shot it is clear the puck went in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I want to know what provoked Simon, because Hollweg didn't do anything nasty to anybody in that game. Where did this come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDF320 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Simon should be done for the season...nothing questionable about that move. Too bad this will probably just lead to more bad press for the league. The most analysis I've seen of the NHL on ESPN this year has been after the Buf-Ott brawl and Cam's hit on Kaberle. Just another excuse for that network to keep riding the anti-NHL train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Isles got screwed on that disallowed goal. When they show the zoomed in shot it is clear the puck went in. Yeah I saw that too and the puck was over the red line for sure. Isles did get screwed. That goal should have tied the game at 2-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfsharkalligatorhalfman Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 what a jackass. He should get at least 20 games. This certainly puts Janssen's hit in perspective. It may have been late but it was no where close to being as malicious as this cheap shot. Nothing more than a violent attack with a weapon, disgusting.

njdevil26 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 haha someone over on HF just said the league should take it into account that simon realized he didnt want to do it and tried to pull back at the last second and couldnt. so it shouldnt be a harsh suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officerfarva Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just got back from the Isles-Rags game. Wow. Great atmosphere, I'm not used to that at the CAA during the regular season. I couldn't believe what Simon did, he should be suspended for a long time. But at least the Janssen hit will take a backseat to this in the hockey world. Janssen would never do what Simon did but I'm not too sure if there are many players in the league that would do what Simon did. I don't know if we are going to see Simon again this year, the league is going to make an example out of him. OT: I sat right behind the goal and that puck looked like it was in and I couldn't believe it wasn't called a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
