Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Dallas Stars emerging, um, star James Neal was suspended two games by the NHL for a hit from behind that left Columbus’ Derek Dorsett flopping on the ice like a cartoon character. Neal will miss two home games: Saturday vs. the Devils and Monday against Carolina

It is definitely a suspension-worthy offense — it wasn't that different from Tuomo Ruutu's hit on Darcy Tucker that earned the Carolina winger three games in the press box — but unfortunately Hurricanes fans won't get to see Neal against his future team. You see, Neal is a former Plymouth Whaler, therefore future Hurricane. (tongue in cheek)

I didn’t think the hit was worthy of any suspension but than again I’m not the commissioner.

So, all my teams suck!

Good thing I picked him up in fantasy about 3 hours before the suspension was announced…

Satan is just a coping mechanism for monotheists.

My prediction

The game will go to a shootout and Jussi Jokinen will score the SO winner. It’ll be the first time in my entire life that I’m not happy for Juicy.

The Stars are a much different team without Neal. Sadly, that’s not a good thing.
