: -Fuck him. If he isn't at least suspended for an entire year, something is wrong. I would even seek official charges against him. It was absolutely vicious.
Well, the police ARE looking into assault charges. It isn't over yet.
Going out and checking a guy in retaliation is one thing, but fuck, he dropped his stick, hit him with his glove on, and fell on him so the guy's face scraped against the ice as they slid. Especially when the hit he was retaliating against was a clean one.
Did you see Naslund's face afterwards? You could tell he was embaressed about it, which I'm glad to see. Reminds me that no-one wanted that to happen.
Despite being a decent hockey player, I fucking hate the guy. Even more now that this happened. A guy with a temper like that shouldn't be given a job that requires a stick.
