I don't think David Branch will ever change the suspension 20 year old or not once he has said the time..That player is out for season.. We know that the suspension is very hard and maybe even be wrrong in some eyes,but lets look at it from another view what if the player that was hit never plays again in his life.. What if he does but is never the same player as his skill levels have dropped becuase of the hit.. Over the years we have seen players come back from head shots and other hurts and were never the same as before they got hurt..

I can't remember seeing a hit at the MC that looked that bad both in terms of the illegality of the hit and what you expected was the seriousness of injury... just got lucky on the injury. And I agree about it vs. the OHL hit. Seeing Gillard get hit like that made my stomach sink and you expected to see the stretcher and an injury putting Gillard out a long, long time. Great to see he wasn't seriously hurt though, very lucky. You obviously never saw Eric LaPlante play for the Mooseheads - would deliver a check like that and laugh on his way to the dressing room....

Whats sad is, that hit was way worse than the one that happened in the OHL where the kid was suspended for the season. Goulet chased Gillard into the corner, looking at his numbers for 4-5 strides and still planted him head first into the boards... The guy in the OHL stoped actually skating at the faceoff dot and coasted in and Fanelli turned his back... I know life isnt fair, but ya gotta feel for that 20 year old player who had his career end on a BS suspension that was based on the fact Fanelli was injured. Funny, I watched the replay of that hit over and over and thought the same thing, I really didn't think he should have to have his career end like that.
