I'm Brendan Shanahan of the NHL Department of Player safety. Last night in Washington, an incident occurred between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Capitals. at 13:12 of the 3rd period, Philadelphia forward Kimmo Timonen is racing to gain control of the puck when he is knocked down by the referee. The referee clearly leaps off his feet and targets Timonen's head. This is a clear violation of the charging rule. The referee has had no previous disciplinary actions. I am suspending him for 3 games.
what a dumb ref, the puck and Timonen are coming right at him and decides to just jump in the air? he had plenty of time to just get the hell out of the way
Purpose hit. His elbow was up and ready. Referee need the right time and got it!!!
