Advice to Downie: "Count to 10"

The display of temper and flying fists that earned Steve Downie a game misconduct while playing for the Philadelphia Phantoms drew a reprimand from Philadelphia Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren, who advised him to "count to 10″ before losing his cool. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Downie, who received a 20-game suspension from the NHL for a check he threw against Ottawa's Dean McAmmond in a preseason game Sept. 25, got into a fight Friday night midway through the first period with Kris Newbury of the Toronto Marlies, a duel that apparently was instigated by Newbury after Downie checked him.
