This buffoon just got back from a nine game suspension and on his third shift back this clown does this despicable act, apparently he didn’t learn anything on his first suspension. Here is an interesting stat, Trevor Gillies has played less than five minutes combined in his last two games and been suspended a total of 19 games. Unbelievable!!! Already Islander fans are saying that Cal Clutterbuck should have been suspended for 5 games, which is a load of crap, Cal hit the Islanders player from behind, he didn't target his opponents head, so no suspension is warrented.
NHL.COM----- New York Islanders forward/Hack Trevor Gillies has been suspended for 10 games for delivering a blow to the head of Cal Clutterbuck of the Minnesota Wild in Tuesday's game at Nassau Coliseum.
Gillies will forfeit $60,975.60 in salary.
The incident occurred at 2:23 of the second period and Gillies was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for checking from behind.
"By targeting his opponent's head, three shifts into his first game back from a suspension for a very similar action, Mr. Gillies has forfeited his privilege of playing in the League for 10 games," said NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell. "While it is fortunate there was no injury on the play, there can be no justification for a player delivering a dangerous check to an opponent in this manner."
Gillies, who was suspended for 9 games on Feb. 11 for his actions in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and forfeits his salary based on the number of games in the season (82), rather than the number of days (186).
