No suspension for Wayne Simmonds was the right call, says former NHL ref Kerry Fraser.
Former NHL ref Kerry Fraser got a lot of ridicule back when he was on the ice. But in reality, he was a 30 year official with a damn solid track record, and he's been a fantastic columnist over at TSN since he retired.
On Wednesday, he took up the subject of the Wayne Simmonds-Ryan McDonagh dust up from over the weekend. His verdict sides pretty strongly with Simmer -- not the Rangers or their whiny head coach, Alain Vigneault, who felt Simmonds should have been suspended for his "sucker punch of McDonagh.
