St. Louis Blues defenseman Rick Zombo was suspended for 10 games without pay back in 1994 for slashing a linesman in the leg during a Jan. 9 game against Dallas Stars.

Zombo shoved and slashed linesman Kevin Collins after Collins collided with him. The collision caused Zombo to lose control of the puck, which was retrieved by a Dallas player who scored what proved to be the winning goal.

  • @TheBollocksPictures Are you kidding? If Zombo hadn't wasted a couple seconds stopping to slash the ref he could have gotten back to stop that goal.

  • I'm a Referee, not a Linesman, we're part of the game, we do out best to get out of the way, it's all about anticipating where you're going to go based on the current play, and sometimes you get retards who don't know what they're doing and keep bumping into even their own players -.-

  • @robertcollover Considering Cal Clutterbuck punched a linesman twice this season and received no discipline, I would say you are over shooting with your assessment. Let's not forget that you only receive a suspension if you injured someone.

  • @delacroixwalrus small fine??? are u serious??? with all these bullsh#it suspensions for legal hits this season you would get ike 30 games for slashing linesman

  • The linesmen is considered part of the ice. Not the linesmen's fault that Zumbo wasn't looking where he was going and plowed into him. Still, the suspension was too severe. You do that today, you'll get a small fine.

  • @HeyImTalon Yeah the ref was a dick for getting in the way but that doesn't give any player the right to slash him. They all make mistakes.

  • @raptors11111 If the ref wasn't in the way he wouldn't have had to skate back to prevent a goal that never would have happened.

  • lol 10 games

  • @skangmox i suppose..but when i play football my coach always told us that the ref's were part of the field. You cant divert your course of action becuase they're in the way. You just go through them.

  • @tyrant88 lines and refs are part of the game. Z had his head down and didnt see him. Its like saying I would of had a goal if that goal post wasnt there.

  • ZOMBO! I know this guy personally, he was the main coach at J. Robinsons intensive hockey camp in Minnesota in 2004, thanks for everything Zombo
