Stars' Ribeiro Could Be Suspended
11th May, 2008 - 1:05 pm
The Dallas Morning News - The Stars might be without scoring leader Mike Ribeiro in Game Three against the Red Wings if the NHL opts to suspend him, according to The Dallas Morning News.

After the team's loss to Detroit on Saturday night, Ribeiro went behind the opposing net and reached over to make a two-handed slash with his stick across Detroit goalie Chris Chris Osgood's chest.

Ribeiro was given a ten-minute match penalty that NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell will review for possible further discipline.

"I think Osgood thought Ribeiro was going to try to run him, and Osgood sticks his stick out," Dallas Coach Dave Tippett said. "Then Ribeiro turns around and slashes him, which is not right, but something made Ribby do that. He's not going to turn around and hit the goalie like that. That's not the way that works." [READ]
