-> It *really* becomes a joke when you compare it to Claude Lemieux's
-> suspension last year.. (it'd be cool if someone could remind me of
-> what it was, but I know it wasn't as severe as this one)
No doubt about that. What Lemieux got for suspension is probably the
worst. Lemieux deliberately injured Kraper and he should have gotten the
same time Draper gone from the Red Wing's lineup or even more. I am
beginning to think that NHL reegarding suspension is inconsistent.
-> Let's look at the respective injuries..
->
-> Kris Draper:  Need serious facial surgery to repair the massive
-> damage he received.  Still, to this day, needs to wear a retainer to
-> bed at night and occasionally experiences numbness on the left(?)
-> side of his face.
I feel sorry for Draper. I hope NHL brass opens their eyes soon. If the
injuries is severe as Draper's injury and was deliberately, a player
should get more than 20 games suspension to scare other players in doing
the same thing.
-> Jim Kelly:  A ripped shirt and a bruised ego.
->
-> Wish one of the reporters at the press conference had brought it up..
-> would've like to see Bettman weasel his way out of that little
-> comparison..
What's next??? I wonder what could happen if Gretzky or Mario Lemeiux
did what Hasek did to Kelley. Do you think those two will get a
suspension? Just a thought.....
