Kaleta Suspended 5 Games For Checking From Behind


In a ruling that surprises nobody, Sabres winger Patrick Kaleta has been suspended without pay for 5 games for boarding New York Rangers Center Brad Richards in the Sabres 3-2 loss to the Rangers last night.
 
Five games was the maximum that Kaleta can receive based off the fact he was asked to attend a conference call.

We shall see if Kaleta has learned his lesson from this and hope there are no further repercussions for this hit and the antics that he displayed in a win over the New Jersey Devils, although Kaleta will not be on the ice for the rematch Thursday.
