Double-digits is a good start, but it seems like Gillies will be back eventually, and his track record — Suspensions in consecutive NHL games played! A police investigation in Finland! — suggests he’ll do something equally terrible again fairly soon. Bummer.
Gillies, 34, is playing for Adirondack, the Flames’ AHL affiliate. He’d already gotten an automatic one-game suspension for … whatever that was.
By the way, William Carrier, the smashee, is fine.
