Steve Downie suspended 20 games for hit

Flyers rookie Steve Downie has been suspended for 20 games following his brutal hit on Dean McAmmond Tuesday. And this was in a preseason game! McAmmond is out indefinitely with a concussion, and his career is in jeopardy. Downie’s hit was highly criticized, and the organization sent him down to the AHL. This suspension ranks up there among the longest ever in the NHL, and Downie deserves it for this devastating, dangerous hit:
