Well deserved. That was a ridiculous hit.
I just wish Cam would come out and say, "5 games well worth it."

This is absolute BS. The league is always screwing the Blues…..
They should have given him at least 5…..WEEKS!
Please? Is there someone we can call? Can we appeal?
Time for the "King" to return to his thrown.

I guess this means that we won't get to see Cam with his shirt off in the penalty box for the next little bit. I can see the TV ratings going down as we speak.

I'm not surprised!
I didn't think it was that bad when I first saw it....I still don't think it was worth 5 games. Oh well.

I'm not surprised, the hit was pretty late and vicious. I liked the hit because that's why Cam's on the team. I'll trade the win against Washington for a 5 game suspension for Cam every day and twice on Sunday.
