JeffMarek:

Cormier's pro career won't be affected by the Tam incident. Many teams would rather "tame a tiger than paint stripes on a kitty cat".

TSN (the only place for good hockey news) is reporting that the AHL may just "take a look" at the incident if Cormier is assigned to the AHL by the NJD at the completion of his Jr. season.

Edit: Finished Bob McKenzie's book on Cofessions of a (Crazy?) Hockey Parent. Both his kids had concussions playing hockey. In Mike's (SLU '10) case, he got it playing provincial Junior A while wearing a 1/2 shield. After he got cleared (which took a while), Bob made him wear the cage for the rest of his Jr A career. Bob claims that is save at least one face smushing. If Tam had been wearing a full cage, the effects of the Cormier elbow may have been mitigated.

Then again, if Cormier had the elbow down, we would not be talking about this, would we?

...what a cheap hit! B@##strd" is only 19.. i'm sorry this suspension is not enough.

Send a msg to young players now... this guy should be out of hockey.

If not.. there is so much worng with the sport on many levels... just this fan's opinion.

Seeing the convulsions - that's an image that will be hard to forget. It is shocking that a player with that type of mentality is picked to represent Canada.

The devils have said they will respect the ruling and will not have cormier suit up until his Q team has been eliminated from the playoffs at the very earliest.

way to take a stand... i'll be disappointed if i see this kid playing anywhere in the devils system during the 2009-2010 season, regardless of when his team's Q season/playoffs end.
