Gauthier Handed Five-Game Suspension

Jeanne Dupuis — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:43:33 +0000

For a repeat offender like Denis Gauthier, I have to admit that I was expecting a longer suspension. The Los Angeles Kings defenceman came under fire after taking a pretty nasty hit on Montreal Canadiens d-man, Josh Gorges.

The league has suspended him for five games without pay – he will forfeit $56,451.61 of his salary to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.

The Kings can put him back in the lineup on February 14, 2009 for the game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Gauthier to Attend Disciplinary Hearing Today

Jeanne Dupuis — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:10:18 +0000

Los Angeles Kings defenceman, Denis Gauthier, will be making an appearance at a disciplinary hearing today after the NHL summoned him following a hit on Montreal Canadiens defenceman, Josh Gorges on Saturday night. Watch the video of the collision:

So, what do you think? Was it dirty? I think it was and I hope that Gauthier, who is known for this type of garbage, gets properly punished. Gorges looked like he didn’t know what planet he was on after that hit and it is suspected that he suffered a concussion.
