Islanders' Hill suspended for 20 games

This assult is gonna be brutal!!!
Let the insults begin!

Wow, the Islander bad news just keeps on coming!!!!

BUFFALO (AP)- Islanders defenseman Sean Hill was hit with a 20-game suspension by the NHL on Friday — just hours before New York faced elimination from the playoffs — for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances program.

hehehehehehehehehehEHEHEHEHEHE HEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA.HA..HA..HA HA HA!

How long will it be before A-Rod is tested? All of a sudden he learns to hit the ball!!

thats just stunning

This is a joke, right? Are you seriously going to tell me that first we have 2 video replays go against us for goals in 2 consecutive games, and then just 2 hours before a game we must win they suspend one of our top defensemen? If the NHL isn't trying to ensure that Buffalo wins this series I don't know what is happening.

How long before Isles fans accuse Colin Campbell of doctoring Hill's urine sample?

All juiced up with no place to go!
Way to go, team player!

I don't think it gives you better hand / eye coordination, I think it gives you strength and stamina. He's gotta put up numbers this year, he can opt out of his contract and make more. Having said that I think they all do that on some level and I enjoy watching him play. I don't think he's a cheater that way.

LOL, there it is, I knew someone would blame the conspiracy.

Who read the test's, Leggo?????

Hill - why????????? You should've just retired man. Thanks for nothing.

just say uncle

What a dope!

as for the A-Rod comment, that has to be one of the if not THE dumbest thing I think I have ever read, but this is about the isles.

Maybe as a give away if we win tonight we can give away Colin Campbell masks, have 16,237 people look like Colin Campbell

hmmm never heard of players tested during a playoff series.can anyone spell conspiracy? lets face it,the nhl bigs dislike wang for his unorthodox methods.the 15 year contract and the signing of the blacklisted pair of nolan and yashin.although i must admit,the yashin thing makes me angry too

that's a lot of baldish heads

This one's not on the NHL. You can't take steriods at any time. This is an embarrassment to the Isles and their fans, and it doesn't change anything. We've still gotta win tonight.

damn, that would be a frightening spectacle. Food for thought... I remember when he was the Rangers coach, and sometimes during the interviews, he'd have this look on his face, kinda like he was having an out of body experience... it's been buggin me for years who has that same look and it seriously just came to me..

I think if there was a big conspiracy and this was included they would have went after a bigger fishstick than Sean Hill.

Wow thats all I can say. Anyone know if that random test happened today or if this was just the time that they decided to make thier ruling? This whole situation is actually just laughable at this stage of the game, but hey one game of the suspension down that doesnt get carried over.
