Colin Campbell, NHL Executive Vice President and enforcer of discipline, gave him a stern warning about his sucker punch that left Toronto's Jason Blake with a black eye, but did not suspend him.

"We had a conversation with Mr. Campbell and that's it. The rest will be between the league, the Flyers and Steve," said general manager Paul Holmgren. "It was a good talk.

"It's Steve's [fourth] NHL game. He's walking a fine line there, which is basically what he was told. My conversation with Steve was a little harsher than Colin Campbell's."

Downie was suspended 20 games earlier this season for a bad hit on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond during pre-season.

Downie's double minor came late in the game and cost the Flyers as the Maple Leafs got a power play goal down 2-0.

"He's part of a team now and needs to think in those terms and not selfishly," Holmgren said. "I'm upset. It was Jason Blake. Jason is not a fighter. You get a player in that position and I don't Jason had his gloves off. I'm not happy about either. The fact that Steve put his team down is a different issue. That's a selfish thing. He'll get better."

Downie said he did a lot of listening and little talking.

"I took a penalty that hurt the team and I can't do that," Downie said, admitting he has again been put on notice by the league. "There's a fine line you've got to follow and I crossed it again. I got to learn."

The Toronto media made it a huge issue, but it was a cheap shot.

"It's Toronto, they blew it up a bit," Downie said.

Campbell did not impose any discipline on Pavel Kubina, who blatantly ran Braydon Coburn on the side boards earlier in the game. Coburn was badly cut, but with no penalty imposed. Holmgren said he and Campbell discussed the hit among themselves.
