Not exactly the Christmas spirit there Chris. What gives?

Fresh off a 25-game suspension, Chris Simon may be begging for more after trying to cut Jarkko Ruutu with his skate. Apparently Ruutu may have embellished a bit, but what time of disciplinary action should the Islanders' forward receive?

Update: Chris Simon managed to one-up himself with a 30-game suspension this time around. Is the penalty fair? Too harsh? Too generous?

5	He should be suspended for the rest of the season. Hockey players are the only pro athletes that are essentially armed with knives during competition, and the NHL needs to make a statement that actions like that are dangerous, especially when even just an accident with a skate can severely injure someone (like Clint Malarchuk).

3	I was going to come in here and say for the rest of the season too. Obviously Simon didn't learn anything about sportsmanship in his 25-game suspension. Even as a first time offense, something like this should have quite a large punishment; if they weren't on the ice in a game it could be considered assault with a deadly weapon
