Colin Campbell is Trying to Clean Up the Game

Give Colin Campbell some credit. He for one recognizes that hits to the head are not good for the NHL. So for the second time in the playoffs Chris Pronger has a 1-game suspension. When you suspend one of the game's star players, everyone else sits up and take notice. I doubt Don Cherry will be happy about this.



Dean McAmmond was skating 1-on-1 against Pronger early in the third period of Game 3 when Pronger hit McAmmond with an elbow. McAmmond was knocked out from the blow and is doubtful for Game 4 as well.

In Toronto Star online poll, 88% of respondents agreed with the suspension.
