"aaaaay"
After his likely suspension, what should be done with Lemieux? Send him to the Moose to see if his style can be corrected? Keep him with Jets to do the same? Trade him?
It's not a likely suspension. Match penalties result in an indefinite suspension until a ruling is made.
21.1 Match Penalty: Match penalties are assessed against players deemed to have "deliberately" injured or attempted to injure an opponent. When a player is assessed a match penalty, he is ejected from the game and officially given 10 PIM. Not only is he ejected from the current game, but he is also suspended indefinitely "until the Commissioner has ruled on the issue."
Deliberate attempt to injure is a rather serious matter.
I for one don't want to cheer on anyone who engages in such tactics. Situations like this can occur during heated games/playoff series when players can feel they have ample reason to "pay back" another player.
In this case Lemieux out of nowhere on a routine play went after another players head.
f*** him. Good riddance.
