Gillies Gets 10 Games

And the HQ is still tired of his act...

Islanders forward Trevor Gillies gets a 10-game ban for hitting the Minnesota Wild's Cal Clutterbuck from behind in his first game back from a nine-game suspension.

Here's the hit... again...

Gillies drilled Clutterbuck and was given a major penalty for checking from behind and ejected.

"By targeting his opponent's head, [four] shifts into his first game back from a suspension for a very similar action, Mr. Gillies has forfeited his privilege of playing in the league for 10 games," NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said in a statement. "While it is fortunate there was no injury on the play, there can be no justification for a player delivering a dangerous check to an opponent in this manner."

Gillies earned the nine-game suspension for charging Pittsburgh forward Eric Tangradi last month in the brawl-fest from February 11th...

Here's that classy move...again...

As a repeat offender, Gillies loses just under $61,000.

Whatever...
