Hordichuk got hold of Simpson early and landed a couple, nothing hard before they started spinning. Both guys throwing, but not much landing. There was only one official there as a scrum developed on the other side with Ray Ferraro, Domenichelli, Benoit Gratton and Asham. When Hordichuk and Simpson go to the ice the official goes down on top of Hordichuk (remember there was only one official) at which time Simpson hits Hordi in the back of the head (pretty good shot). Cheap shot by Reid. Hordichuk might have actually gotten cut on the back of his head, as he kept showing the official the blood. The official really didn't seem to care as he was too busy skating over to the other scrum. Other Penalties: Gratton and Ferraro received roughings.
