O'Reilly suspension draws NHL official backlash
The NHL Officials Association denounces Terry O'Reilly's indefinite suspension for striking referee Andy van Hellemond in Game 7 of the Adams Division final. James Beatty calls the penalty a breach of league faith and urges automatic suspensions, with talks planned during Montreal meetings and a push for 20 to 30 games. O'Reilly defends his action as wrong but argues the punishment is excessive compared with past cases.
