The NHL suspended Jesse Boulerice for 25 games today for his cross check to the face of Ryan Kesler. Just thought I'd get everyones reaction to the hit and the suspension.
Personally, I'm glad to see the NHL crackdown on this hit. Unfortunately, it makes me believe even more that Todd Bertuzzi should never have been let back into the NHL.

When are hockey players going to learn that their sticks are weapons and should be left on the ice where they belong. Do we need to install stop signs on their jersey's/helmets like we do the youngsters to get the message across. Personally, I think this type of stuff really damages the image of the game. I for one would like to see the penalties for cheap shots like this to involve a year long suspension. It is practically attempted murder/assault with a deadly weapon. In closing the penalty wasn't strong enough IMO.
