Andre Roy suspended by team
Quote:
Tampa Bay Lightning enforcer Andre Roy has been suspended by the team for at least two games.
According to a report in the Tampa Bay Tribune, the club sent Roy home this morning in reaction to an incident in Thursday's 3-2 loss at Philadelphia.
During the game, Roy had to be restrained by a linesman then physically pulled to the bench by head coach John Tortorella after being enraged by the Flyers in-house staff for replaying Roy's second fight with Riley Cote on the jumbo screen. The Tribune reported that with each replay, the Flyers bench laughed at Cote's quick punch that sent Roy to the ice.
''After last night's game, I felt it would be best for the team and for Andre if he went back to Tampa and we separated him from the team for the next few days,'' general manager Jay Feaster said in a statement. ''I will meet with Andre on Monday and we will determine any subsequent course of action at that time.''
Roy will be out of the lineup tonight against New Jersey and Sunday in Columbus.

I was surprised to see him lose his mind the way he did last night...not that big of deal, you lose some, you win some. Get over it.
