MAY SITS
Brad May drew a one-game suspension from the NHL for cross-checking Jay McKee across the face in the final minutes of the Canucks' 6-1 win over the Sabres on Monday. In some interesting dialogue, McKee (friend of May) has somewhat defended May, saying that he had previously "face washed" (love that hockey grammar) May in the corner not long before the cross-check, about which he said he was hit in the face with May's glove instead of a stick. The suspension is a result of the 10-minute match penalty (intent to injure) that was given to May. To those who don't know (which I didn't until Monday night), when a match penalty is given, the penalized player cannot be on the ice until the NHL reviews the severity of the penalty.
