flyerrod Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I am not usually big on long suspensions but that shot and the way it was delivered deserved 10 games. It was a text book scenario for an intentional and illegal hit to the head. Those Ti Domi like cheap shots need to go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
