When will the NHL remove a clearly biased “disciplinarian”? When will the Rags finally hire this idiot back, so the discipline can be administered by someone without a chip on his shoulder for being denied his stanley cup back in the 70s and 80s? He sucked as a player and he sucks as an admin.

Phaneuf’s hit was not exactly clean. KO needs to keep his head up, but Phaneuf doesn’t need to come from the penalty box side to land that hit after KO released the puck. Why does he need the back of his shoulder to land the hit? Good job to Morency, but if he gets more than 5, then Wang should demand an investigation launched into Colon’s “discipline”.

Soupy is a joke, just like Bettman.

Once again, we get the shaft in an NHL decision.

oh stop with the wussy talk already
take down the number and get even when the opportunity presents itself down the road

if Witt or Sutton laid out a good young player from another team you’d all be high fiving eachother .

Phaneuf Man Up??? No way. The guy is a pansy who takes Sean Avery’s sloppy seconds.

Where is Snow and Gordon??? They should be outraged and commenting or talking about the hit and this BS suspension!

nevermind commenting and talking, they should be doing what’s needed to toughen up the team.

Off topic - sorry - but just had to write this somewhere: exactly what we all feared would happen to Isles coverage has happened without PB. I haven’t seen a single interesting and insightful article in Newsday about the Isles since training camp started. No offense to Katie Strang, but her pieces all seem to be 2 paragraph blog entries with little content. Its been over a week already. How does Tavares really look? the drafted goalies? Are anyone of the young forwards standing out? I’m already starting to lose interest in the team because we can’t get any information. So disappointing.

I dont know to me it looked like Phaneuf was ready to start throwing with our minor league middle but Morecny fell and Phaneuf fell on top. The fight was going to happen? I’m wondering why one of our other career minor leaguers in the lineup didn’t step up and just start throwing bombs wheter or not Phaneuf wanted to or not? We need MORE toughness on this team on a regular basis not on an if needed basis. I mean whats with asking this guy if he wants to go or not? Islanders when it comes to toughness are pathetic. Like Tom Bradey said talk is cheap. Comeau, this would have been a great time to finally step up to the plate and show you are a man!

a dirty hit yes.

but, the preseason has been less than a week and we have had bergenheim,weight,neilsen, and okposo injured.

what is going on? no one else has lost half of their first 2 lines.

I hope that Phaneuf dresses against the Islanders this season to face the music. It won’t Morency fighting next time though, it will be someone like Matt martin or Joe Rechlicz. Somebody should whoop Dion’s ass for this actions.
