"I had a feeling he had a concu sion,"Vigneault said, . "We werent 100 percent Luke Jackson Jersey sure. He had some symptoms."

As a result of the altercation,Simmonds received a match penalty and was ejected from the game. As he left the ice and headed for the dre singroom, he to sed his stick in the direction of the officials. The NHL laterrescinded the match penalty, allowing Simmonds to play in Sunday's lo s to the Capitals and escape further punishment from the league.

"What I didnt expect was the reaction from the league,"Vigneault said."An All-Star player gets sucker-punched, goes down. I wonder if thats (Sidney) Crosby, what happens? What are the consequences? And, on top of that, a player breaks his stick, throws it at the referees. In the rulebook, thats Josh Donaldson Jersey automatic. Its three games. Nothing happens. Its not even on the sheet after the game.

"And the referee came to me and I said, Am I getting a power play here? and he said, No, hes getting a game misconduct for throwing his stick at us.And its not on the sheet. I think maybe you guys (the media) should call the league and find out what happened because obviously were getting different answers."

The Rangers have yet to release atimetable for McDonaghs return Jackie Robinson Jersey as New Yorkprepares for a busy week with four games overthe next seven days. The team is planning to stick with itssix healthy defensemen, including four right-handers,though a left-hander will likely be called up fromAHL Hartford later this week.
