Huge news today!
The National Hockey League announced Tuesday that Toronto Maple Leafs forward Darcy Tucker has been suspended for five games, without pay, and forward Tie Domi has been suspended for three games, without pay, as a result of separate incidents in NHL Game #981 against the Ottawa Senators, March 4.
While on the ice, Tucker became involved in a confrontation with Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil, who was on the players' bench at the time. It was made clear at the hearing that Tucker did not charge the players' bench as a result of being spit at by Neil. Tucker was assessed a major penalty for fighting and two game misconduct penalties at 7:30 of the third period.
At 18:37 of the third period, Domi was assessed a major penalty for fighting and game misconduct for delivering a punch to the face of Ottawa player Magnus Arvedson.
On the other side of the coin however, the rumors surrounding Owen Nolan. Toronto acquired San Jose power forward Owen Nolan in exchange for third-line center Alyn McCauley, prized prospect Brad Boyes and Toronto's first-round pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft.
The fact that Toronto did not have to trade any member of its present roster only adds to the magnitude of the trade.
