If an AHL player gets called up to play a game in the NHL, do something wrong and get suspended for a couple of games. Can he be send back down to the AHL and ply there or does is suspension is affective in both the NHL and AHL
Yes, their suspension would apply to them in the AHL, as per an AHL/HNL agreement.
Technically, he could play in another league, BUT that league has the discretion of allowing him to play or not play. An example would be Bertuzzi (although he was not a call up from the AHL). He could not play for Manitoba because of his NHL suspension, and all European leagues chose to honour the NHL suspension thus preventing him from playing over there during the lock out. |

By far the Simon high stick was worse. When McSorely hit Brashear, he wasn't hurt. He went down and laid there to get a major penalty called. If his helmet hadn't popped off his giant mellon, it would not have even looked that bad. Same as Bertuzzi - it was worth a suspension, but I've seen worse in old-timer hockey. It was the pile after that caused the problem with Moore (which explains why the lawsuit has gone nowhere).
Simon, on the other hand, went for the face. There's a huge difference between hitting someone on the back of the helmet and slashing someone in the face. Yes, it was probably a reaction and not pre-meditated, but man, that could have been deadly.
The worst I've ever seen never even gets mentioned anymore - Dave Brown when he cross-checked Thomas Sandstrom in the face back in the early 90's. He was suspended for a handful of games, but in today's NHL he would have gotten a year for it - garanteed.
