But he cold-cocked McAmmond. That wasn't a matter of dropping his shoulder to make the hit. That was chin music there. <BR/><BR/>As others have said, he's been a giant for most of his life, he should have figured out how to compensate.

He got off lightly with the one game suspension as it should have been at least two based on his repeat infraction. If there is any justice at all he would be suspended as long as McAmmond cannot play. Plus, Ottawa should be awarded a five minute power play to start out game 4.
