Chris Simon is taking a leave of absence after his match penalty this past weekend.

< Link >

QUOTE

Chris Simon left the New York Islanders on Monday, saying he needed time away from hockey following his latest penalty for attempting to injure an opponent.

Simon missed the first five games of this season while completing a 25-game ban -- his sixth NHL suspension -- meted out in March. He could be in line for another long penalty after he took down and stepped on Pittsburgh's Jarkko Ruutu last weekend.

"The actions of Chris Simon on Saturday do not reflect what the New York Islanders stand for," team owner Charles Wang said in a statement. "They were reckless, potentially dangerous and against our team concept of grit, character and heart.

"We know Chris as a respected teammate and as a gracious man away from the playing surface and believe strongly that he has earned our continued support. The Islanders are going to provide some time for Chris away from the team and give him the counseling he needs and the compassion he deserves. When Chris is completely ready, he will be a member of our team again."

Simon gets a 30 game suspension

QUOTE

"There were several factors that were considered in imposing the largest suspension in NHL history for an on-ice incident," explained NHL Vice President Colin Campbell.

"While fortunate, Mr. Ruutu suffered no serious injury as a result of Chris Simon's actions, the deliberate act of kicking an opponent with a skate blade, especially when that opponent is in a vulnarable position, is and always has been a repugnant and totally unacceptable act in the game of hockey."

Does hockey translate to a Chinese audience? The New York Islanders want to find out.

The job of expanding the hockey vocabulary belongs to Alex Peng and Justin Chang, a pair of New York-based broadcasters who are calling Islander home games in Mandarin. They currently can be heard by flipping the SAP button on Fox Sports Net and the MSG Network in New York. The ultimate goal is to spread it to an untapped Asian market.

He made four conditioning starts for the AHL Bridgeport Sound Tigers, going 1-2-0 with a 3.31 goals-against average and .883 save percentage before being recalled to the Islanders on Monday.

I've been hearing things about KC for years, and I finally have to ask: Is Kansas City really a good idea for hockey? It doesn't seem like a good market at all. I mean look at places like Colorado, Columbus, and New Jersey (who ranked 27th, 22nd, and 20th in average home game attendance for 2010 games, respectively). They are all places with rich hockey roots, and longtime fan bases, and even they are having trouble filling seats, as none of them even eclipsed 90% last season. The Islanders ranked 29th, with just over 78%, and they want to move them to Kansas City? KC is a place I envision to be like Nashville. Seems like it might be a good idea, but doesn't end up being the boom you'd hope for. While I'm not disagreeing with moving the Isles (they averaged over 14% higher attendance in road games than they did in home games), despite their long, respectable history in NY, I don't think KC is the right place. Give Canada a another team or two. They deserve it, need it, and have been crying for years (for good reason). Plus then we don't have to worry about losing the Coyotes.

Sorry if all the numbers got confusing. They're just interesting and they help make my point. If anyone needs to check my numbers for whatever, I went to ESPN for that.
