Three For Hitting
The Power Play —
The NHL has handed down a three game suspension to Tom Kostopoulos of the Montreal Canadiens, for his hit from behind on Leafs d-man Mike Van Ryn. The hit happened during the first period of Saturday's Habs vs. Leafs game. Both Kosto and Van Ryn were chasing after a dump in, and when Kosto went for a clean hard check Van Ryn turned his back and left himself open to the hit from behind. It would have been a clean hit, but apparently Mike Van Ryn doesn't know how to defend himself when up against the boards. Jeez, I feel like Don Cherry for criticizing a guy for getting injured. All I need now are some really ugly suits and a sheepish ...

According to the NHL, which has allegedly reaffirmed its commitment to fight against dangerous plays that ...
