NHL suspends Flyers' Jones for two games

TORONTO -- Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Randy Jones has been suspended for two games, without pay, as a result of being assessed a game misconduct during NHL game #146 against the Boston Bruins on Oct. 27, the National Hockey League announced today.

"While it is my determination that Jones did not intend to injure his opponent, he did deliver a hard check to a player who was in a vulnerable position," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "There have been suggestions by some that this hit was comparable to incidents earlier this season where players received significant game suspensions for blows to the head. These comparisons and suggestions are wrong," Campbell added.

Under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, and based on his average annual salary, Jones will forfeit $5,614.98. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

Jones was assessed a major penalty for boarding and a game misconduct for a hit on Boston player Patrice Bergeron at 16:07 of the first period.

Jones will miss Thursday's game at Montreal and the Nov. 2 game at Washington. He will be eligible to return Nov. 5 at NY Rangers.

I don't know about this one .. as much as I'm a Bruins fan,, I saw this hit as a good hard hockey hit .. I didn't see where this warranted a 2 game suspension,, maybe a good fine but NOT a suspension.. I could be wrong tho, it's just my honest opinion on the hit .. ;)

I see DJ went with Booguard how did that go for him.

Booguard is a big old boy!D.J. had his hands full.He got the better of the fight early,and Booguard got some shots in at the end.It's tough to handle a guy that has about 35 lbs. on you.

The Blues are in a slump.They gave up two shorties Saturday against the Hawks and had an aweful first against the Blue Jackets last night and got shut out by Columbus for the second straight game.

LOL...When aren't they:D:D:D

Jeez,now that was uncalled for:p,especially for a team that made the playoffs for like 22 staright years.:)

I predict the Cup will be won by St. Louis within the next 10 years.I hope anyways.It would be nice to see them win it sometime in my life.

They are in a very tough division this year.

shaun ---------- Leafs 3 ------ Sens 0 :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

Luke Luke Luke --------- Habs 7 ---- Bruins 4 :eek::eek: ouchhh :p:D

Sheesh, Lewis can the habs even score score 5 on 5 ?? .. :D:D

I wonder how Guy Carbonneau is going to like paying that $10,000 fine thanks to Kostopoulos' STUPIDITY in the last 5 min. of the game... the funny thing is he lost the fight and will sit the next game and cost his coach ten grand for absolutely no reason ...:eek::eek::rolleyes:

The Bruins had better get things fixed with their defense or it's going to be a real long season for them ...:(:(

I never saw the game Luke, just the scores on NHL.com. I'll have to turn on TSN Sportcentre and see what happened.
