No suspension for Downie's sucker punch

So the NHL's idea of putting the Flyers on notice, was yet again to slap them on the wrist and continue to allow a punk like Downie to keep playing this game.

I'm just flabergasted by the NHL's refusal to take the dirtiness out of the game.

He probably should have been suspended but the fact is he did it to a Maple Leaf. Thats ok with me.

blake shouldnt have grabbed him from behind after the whistle maybe nothing would have happened

Please don't justify his actions, they are horrendous and an embarrassment to the league

I change my response. I finally saw it and it for sure did not deserve a suspension.
