Re:burns new article - chris simon
I agree quite a bit with this. I think the \"repeat offender\" aspect of this should be taken into account by everyone (from analyists to the NHL disciplinary guys).
On another note...
The fact that bertuzzi got suspended for as long as he did (20ish games, the playoffs, and the ENTIRE lockout season) for punching Moore, and there are people out there saying that simon was suspended too long is ludicrous to me. Simon used a weapon to hit someone, while Bertuzzi used his fist. I hope burnsy won\'t say that Bertuzzi\'s fists are as deadly as Simon with a stick.
I mean seriously, how can you say that swinging a stick at someone isn\'t worth at least as much of a suspension as swinging your fist at someone? Who would start a fight with only their fists when the other guy has a 2x4? No one. That\'s because you\'d die.
I think if you\'d look at the penal codes in most jurisdictions (in the U.S. at least), you\'d find that \"assault\" carries less of a penalty than \"assault with a deadly weapon.\" Simon\'s suspension was very deserving... if anything it was a bit lenient because of all the past offenses he\'s had...
