Do you think Steve Downie will get suspended for this?

He hopped off the bench to join in the scrum following Anisimov's little taunt at Garon

video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMwiHXAjPSo

The refs and timekeeper missed this since he wasn't tossed from the game, but do you see the automatic 10 game suspension in his near future?

    Yeah, it's automatic. There's no talking in that.

    Rule 70. Automatic 10 game suspension. Not only that the Lightning gets fined as well.

  • He damn well should be suspended. Sure what Anisimov did was douchy, but you just do NOT come off the bench to join in a fracas like that.

    Yes, he will face a harsh suspension. TB did win so karma came back to Anisimov.

    Yes if you leave your bench for the only apparent reason to fight then you will be suspended.
