Capitals' Brashear suspended for six games

I agree with the suspension, it was a dirty hit!

Good! It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Ho Hum....Another staged incident in the world of hockey. This is getting to be as obvious as WWE.
Thank you!

If you don't care for hockey, fine.... go back to watching wrestling. Dumb hicks.

The suspension should have been much longer because of the injury the hit caused. If I'm Betts I would be speaking to a lawyer about bringing a case against this animal. If I'm an NHL official the police should be brought in to examine the tapes and assault charges should be brought up against him. I saw the hit as it happened and Betts could have been killed.

Definitely a cheap shot.. but SIX games? I have seen players smash other players in the skull with elbows and get one.... SIX games? thats to much im sorry.

This is insane? Can you blame someone for being too strong and too powerful? hockey and football are both turning into pusseh sports...

scott k, are you on drugs? that's hockey. it was a late hit, but other than that, it was pretty standard for the sport. the thing is, betts wasn't prepared for it because it was so late. that's why brashear got the penalty, and that's why people are calling it a cheap shot. five games (the first game was for the incident during practice, which is a whole different story) is a bit much if you look at it on paper like that, but the NHL clearly took the effects of the hit into account as well. that's a bit inconsistent of them, but i don't blame them, considering the injury to betts was pretty bad. still, criminal charges? lawyers? police? don't be an idiot.

#1 I've forgotten more about hockey than you know.#2 That was more than a cheap shot, idiot and he didn't get a penalty for the hit only for roughing with Marra after the hit.#3 obviously you condone that sort of violence in the great sport of hockey, you moron. I guarantee that Betts would have a case if he pursued it.#4 That must have been a heartbreaking loss for the Devils last night stupid. Did you get any sleep?

Doesn't it suck that I ended your season !??!?!?

great job by the refs...let's see, a six game suspension but no penalty....that makes sense

i heard that they played the rangers goal song in New Jersey last night when they announced Washington's winning goal. then instant karma, they lose in the last two minutes....nice job devils...
