...And All Ye Suspended for One IIHF Game

25

Back in May, Ryan Getzlaf was captaining Team Canada at the World Championships in Finland and Sweden. In what would be Canada's final game, Getzy was called for kneeing a Team Slovakia player with 2:30ish left in regulation, and he received a controversial 5-minute major. Slovakia would go on and win the game on the power play. I have no idea what took the IIHF so long to hand down a one-game ban for Getzlaf. Perhaps they wanted to be really, really, really sure of their decision. This suspension won't impact his NHL playing time. It's for international games only.
