News has emerged that David Clarkson has been suspended 2 games for his hit to the head against Vladimir Sobotka.
Player Safety announces David Clarkson suspended two games...will miss games vs Chicago and Pittsburgh.
— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) December 14, 2013 It seems like a pretty straightforward ruling, and I don't see any reason to disagree with the explanation provided in the NHL's suspension video:
Ah, David Clarkson. Finding new ways to disappoint us since Day 1.
Nothing compared to the $37mil the Leafs forfeited by signing him. RT @reporterchris Clarkson has now forfeited slightly less than $400,000
