Longest Suspensions in NHL History

  1. Todd Bertuzzi - suspended for rest of season and 2004-05 lockout for sucker punch to head of Steve Moore on Mar. 8, 2004
  2. Marty McSorley - suspended for rest of season (23 games) for slash to head of Donald Brashear on Feb. 21, 2000
  3. Gordie Dwyer - suspended 23 games for abuse of officials on Sept. 19, 2000
  4. Dale Hunter - suspended 21 games for blindside hit on Pierre Turgeon on April 28, 1993
  5. Tom Lysiak - suspended 20 games for tripping linesman on Oct. 30, 1983
  6. Brad May - suspended 20 games for slash to head of Steve Heinze on Nov. 11, 2000
I'm sure Chris Simon's suspension will not fall into the group above.
