TORONTO - Calgary Flames forward Chris Simon has been suspended for two games, without pay, for a kneeing incident during Monday's game against the Dallas Stars.



Simon, who was suspended for two games in January, 2004, is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and forfeits salary based on the number of games in a season, rather than the number of days. He will forfeit $36,585.37. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.



The incident occurred in the first period when Simon struck Stars player Sergei Zubov. No penalty was assessed on the play.



Simon will miss tomorrow's game at Phoenix and March 25 at San Jose. He will be eligible to return March 27 against Los Angeles.

FFS. Is the NHL going to suspend our entire team? mad:

How does a knee on knee incident that was unintentional get the same punishment as messier who deliberatley speared a guy?
