Tom Kostopoulos of the Montreal Canadians has been suspended for the next 3 games for delivering a very hard check to Mike Van Ryn of the Toronto Maple Leaves a few days ago. The check happened as the two chased the puck into the corner of the ice and apparently Kostopoulos wanted Van Ryn out of the way! Boom! Cross checked him and drove him into the head boards. As you can see in the picture above, the puck had very little to do with the play in the end. Van Ryn suffered a concussion, a broken nose, and a broken hand. He is expected to miss at least a month of the season. Kostopoulos has been cited for a roughing minor, a boarding major and a game misconduct. Read more here.
