Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:44:00 GMT

The NHL has had problems consistently doling out punishment for players. If a fringe player like Chris Simon stomps on a player's ankle he gets a 30 game suspension.

Mon, 19 May 2008 11:42:28 GMT

from James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail, The fact that troubled winger Chris Simon and backup netminder John Grahame won't be returning to the NHL next season likely comes as little surprise, but what's interesting is that the pair have signed with teams in the newly branded Continental Hockey League (formerly the Russian Super League) this weekend. continued

from Russo’s Rants, A lot of the blame should fall on Risebrough. Think Adam Foote helped Colorado? I’ll let Gaborik answer that question. Think Ruslan Salei helped Colorado? I’ll let Mark Parrish and Niklas Backstrom and every other Wild player he creamed answer that. Think Chris Simon helped the Wild? I’ll let Jacques Lemaire answer that. It’ll be the same answer he’d give on whether...

Goons Not Helping Wild (Kukla's Korner)

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:16:52 GMT

from Jim Souhan of the Star-Tribune, Enforcers Derek Boogaard and Chris Simon are not people you would want to meet in a dark alley or a neon arena, and their intimidating presence has raised a question about hockey enforcers that Wild management seems to have forgotten to ask: What good are goons?

Jim Kelley: Poile's Nashville miracle and more notes (SI.com)

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:23:57 GMT

The NHL doesn't hand out an award for executive of the year. The logic of that is something akin to handing out 30 games to Chris Simon for stomping on the leg of an opposing player and eight to Chris Pronger for his "foot drop" in similar fashion. It simply doesn't make sense.
