One and done for O'Sullivan

Patrick O'Sullivan started the season with a lot to prove. A terrible last season, stripped of his team captaincy, and questions about his worth to the Seals. For half the season opener against the Bruins he looked like the second coming of Wayne Gretzky. "Patty was everywhere......6 shots on goal, game winning goal.....outstanding" said new captain Evgeny Grachev.

Then came Kimmo Timmonen's flying knee. With O'Sullivan working the boards, Timmonen came in like a wrestler in WWE and smashed O'Sullivan into next week.

O'Sullivan will miss 8 games with a severely bruised sternum. League disciplinarian Warren Colston determined that flying knees are "a hockey play" and something that the PHL doesn't want taken out of the game. Timmonen will not be suspended.
