Should’ve been gone for the year.

Stop whinning about fighting that has little-to-no impact on the real issue, and start getting this right.

They could have easily made an example of gilles by suspending him for the rest of the year to send a message that this type of play ( a repeat obvious elbow to the head) is not going to be tolerated. The publicity this hit got ( sports talk shows, etc..) gave the impression they were going to do just that. Instead they give him what is percieved, by all non islanders fans, as a lesser suspension.

He recieved a 10 game suspension for something that Sean Avery wouldn’t even have been given a penelty…. and we all know how much the league hates Avery.

Gillies is a dirty player. He should have recieved a much longer suspension from his last incident, and I really fail to see a place for him in the NHL… but this hit was not dirty. At least not any more dirty then hits you see every single night. It was not a head shot, it was from the side, and the player hit was not injured. There is no reason for a suspension here, and the NHL simply reacted with a knee jerk reaction because everyone was screaming for blood.

Hell, Clutterbucks hit was probably worse… yet he was not suspended at all. Again, no love for Gillies, but the NHL over reacted here.

Since the $$$ is becoming hard to come by these days for ‘ol Trevor, I suggest he start saving or take some night classes because there are not going to be too many NHL teams interested in employing this loser.
