like seriously, he tries to snap it!

Why is this idiot still in the NHL?

because the NHL protects players like this. Betcha that will change now that one of these "pests" has targeted Bettmans man crush.

I can't believe he only got 2 minutes for that. The ref was standing in clear view!

Bettman we have a problem

WWF or NHL

I choose, WWF, World Wildlife Fund, they are like a bunch of starved pandas out there.

If i was in crosby's position I'd stay down a little longer so my teammates would beat the crap out of him even worse, and make Downie even more hated because of it :P

Well when you think about it, Downie has nothing to lose. He cant do anything to get respected again anyway

No hearing for Downie so looks like he escapes any further discipline for his roughing on Crosby per Pierre LeBrun

OMG what a little dirty ******* *******, like there is absolutly NO need for s*** like that in this league, and if the league wants to take away intenet to injure hits then they need to take action, they are always saying these need to stop they need to stop but then when it comes time to do something about it they just sit there like the f****** morons they are. Now i don't really like sidney crosby but this is DIRTY

Wow.

That's so deliberate it's not even funny. He'd be gone the rest of the season at least if I were in charge.

WTH is wrong with Campbell??? Why is this not worthy of a suspension?? Downie is a moron, a waste of money, a douche, an Ass...........and every other bastard names you can come up with!

I agree with you Matt, he would be so long gone if I were in charge also. There would be no discussions...Get the **** out of here.

Ovechkin just got 2 games for his hit.

This is worse than the Ovie hit, far worse, because it is intentional. And Downie's going to walk free?

Failboat, NHL.

Either way --- somethings gotta be done with the inconsistency of discipline! Thats insane!!! I mean, Downie is a .... Ohhhh words don't even describe!!!

But getting off scott free... thats just awful!!!

I hate Crosby.

But that's just down-right dirty.

If this went to court i probably would vote to be Crosby's lawyer.

Downie needs to leave the NHL.

Can't wait to hear Don Cherry's comments about this one.

How can anybody Hate Crosby I remember people talking about Gretzky this way.

Now Downie deserves a year off before it leads to jail time

A lot of people hated Gretzky too...

Cause both whined and dived a lot. But as Gretzky stop doing this after few seasons. Crosby will eventually stop too...hopefully.

The point here thougth is not about hating Crosby or not..its about a dirty player getting away with a dirty play...DIRTY! Downie is the scum of the scum.
