via the AP,
With the Islanders pressing for the tying goal, forward Chris Simon took a match penalty for trying to stomp on Jarkko Ruutu’s foot with just under six minutes left. New York had a few short-handed chances, including Mike Sillinger’s breakaway with 3:18 left, but the veteran forward missed put the puck over the net.
“It was a bad time for a penalty,” Nolan said. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t have the time to look at it and see the severity of it. We’ll look at it and probably make a comment on it (Sunday).”

Chris Simon has just used up his last chance in my opinion. He’s been suspended more times I believe than any other player in NHL history. There comes a time when a player has committed enough transgressions that you are no longer eligible to play in the NHL. That time is now and Colin Campbell should act accordingly.

I couldn’t believe when I saw this. I’m admit that Ruutu is probably an obnoxious pain-in-the-rear when he’s on the ice, but there’s got to be a line drawn here. Fortunately, Ruutu wasn’t severely injured, but it’s the kind of thing that could have easily severed a tendon, and knocked him out for the year. I hope the league comes down hard on Simon, especially as a repeat offender.
