[edit] Suspension length

"The 25 game suspension is the longest suspension ever handed out, and the largest since Gordie Dwyer was suspended for 23 games in the 2000-2001 season".

If I'm not mistaking, McSorley's suspension was one full year, so even though it was at least 23 games, we should include also all games until Feb 21, 2001. --JForget 20:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hollweg incident

This section sounds a little POV. Especially the wording in the following example:

• "Seconds later, Simon, who claims that he was "completely out of it", took matters into his own hands by hitting Hollweg in the chin with a baseball bat style swing of his hockey stick."
  • "Simon, who claims..." and "took matters into his own hands" appear a little opinionated. And appear to be worded just to vilify Simon.

• • • Not really, you can't prove he was really "out of it". You could also look at it as Simon is only saying that to justify his actions, which is more likely to be the case. --E tac 05:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

• I would also like a source to verify that Hollweg's initial hit was legal as described in the NHL rulebook. I don't dispute or support that it is or isn't legal, I just feel that a source is needed.

I think that saying that it was a baseball like swing can clearly be disputed. I'd rather be vague and say he hit Simon in the jaw than overemphasize what actually happened. Thoughts? Mfn0426 19:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
