Trevor Gillies is a stable human being

@RSandersonWHTK: AHLFlames Trevor Gillies pounds at Amerks William Carrier's head, slams WC's head into the ice.

I would be shocked if @TheAHL doesn't suspend #AHLFlames LW Trevor Gillies for that violent attack on a defenseless William Carrier. #Amerks

#Amerks coach Chadd Cassidy on Trevor Gillies' actions: "If there's room for that in hockey, I'm not sure I want to coach anymore."

What a horrible human being.

[shmenguin]

Someone here used to say how great of a guy he was off the ice. Seems like a reasonable stance.

[llipgh2]

Gillies is insane.

[Gaucho]

Terrifying.

[DropEmJayBird]

Is it that hard to throw someone out of hockey?

I mean seriously - how much of this **** does the sport have to put up with?

[Dickie Dunn]

Dude should never be allowed to play hockey again. Not because what he did was on the level of a ban-able offense (we've all seen worse incidents), but because its obvious that his insanity is eventually going to result in something worse. He's a McSorley-Brashear, Bertuzzi-Moore, Hunter-Turgeon waiting to happen. I can't believe a team actually employs him.

Ive never seen a ref let something like that continue before.

Gillies should be suspended indefinitely.

[BfromD]

Despicable. But not at all surprising given his history. Should be done forever.

[the wicked child]

This guy needs to be locked away/institutionalized before he kills someone.

I think his Eric Tangradi situation should almost be on that list.

Immediately reminded me of this:

Edit: I was misinformed. Its 1 game automatically. The suspension (if any) will be announced after league review.

Immediately reminded me of this:

That didn't nearly get enough media/league attention....Because it was in the playoffs I suppose!

Embarrassing the family name? That happened long before this incident.

Yikes. To me that just screams someone with mental instability. Dude might need help more than he needs to be suspended.

[Idoit40fans]

I had a feeling he was going to take heat for what he said on facebook.

Its probably an empty post, but if he really feels that way and acts on it, then great. I don't see any reason for a negative reaction to him posting that though.

[Jim]

Since he did not mention any names or teams specifically... he can just copy/paste that each time he does it in the future.

My thoughts as well.

This is from the Adirondack Flames website:

The American Hockey League today announced that Adirondack Flames left wing Trevor Gillies and Rochester Americans defenseman Nick Petrecki have each been suspended for one (1) game as a result of being assessed instigator penalties within the final five minutes of the third period of a game between the teams on Oct. 10, under the provisions of AHL Rule 46.22.

Any further supplemental discipline will be announced following the league’s official review of the game.

Gillies will miss Adirondack’s game tonight (Oct. 11) vs. Albany.

[no name]

Trevor should be hired by the Player Safty department.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

wow, two Adirondack Flames threads in a week. I'm pretty sure that's more than the Adirondack teams have gotten on here in the last 8 years.
