Well, the idiots at the NHL's Head Offices, led by "Colon Cancer" Campbell, spun the random wheel of NHL suspensions and it landed on THREE GAMES for Flyers' goon Riley Cote.

The league handed Flyers forward Riley Cote a three-game suspension on Monday for his match penalty following a high head shot to Stars defenceman Matt Niskanen Saturday night. Any player assessed a match penalty is automatically suspended pending a review by the league.

"I talked to (Bettman) today," Holmgren told the Philadelphia Daily News. "He thinks, like I do, that these are different coincidences, different situations, that have to be viewed differently, but the question was raised about ramifications if it happens again.

"So obviously we're under watch."


Here is the Flyers rap sheet thus far this season:
1. Steve Downie got 20 games for a head shot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond
2. Jesse Boulerice got 25 games for a crosscheck to the head of Vancouver's Ryan Kesler
3. Randy Jones got two games for a hit from behind on Boston's Patrice Bergeron
4. Scott Hartnell got two games for hitting Boston's Andrew Alberts' head into the boards
5. Riley Cote's high head-shot on Niskanen netted a three game suspension.

so are you saying the punishment is too much? unfair? that the Flyers are being made to stand alone as bad examples?
