Jesse "The Bull" Boulerice was handed down a 25 game suspension today for his illegal cross check to the face of Vancouver's Ryan Kesler. I have no problem what-so-ever with the length of this suspension. It sounds just right! Maybe Jesse will wise up some day and realize that the cheap shots are not worth it and that they have no place in hockey. I thought he learned his lesson once, but apparently he didn't and that is disappointing. I always enjoyed watching "The Bull" here in Raleigh and I never witnessed him do anything the least bit unsportsmanlike while he was with this franchise. Maybe playing for Philadelphia has something to do with the cheap shots? I'm not making excuses for him, he's a man and needs to make his own choices, but it does make you wonder.
