MrWonderful 481 Posted November 16, 2023 I've been watching hockey since the late 1980's. I've never seen anyone, and I mean anyone, do what this guy did on this play. It's a completely unnatural hockey play; it's not something that could happen where it's an "accident" that might occur during a normal hockey play where something goes awry. As an example, you might get a check wrong into the boards, you might get the timing wrong and bury a guy into the glass from behind and get a match penalty (ejection) for boarding or something. What this dude did is intent to injure, PERIOD. And when that happens, it deserves prosecution. There is certainly precedent for that, with the 2000 Marty McSorley/Donald Brashear incident and the 2004 Todd Bertuzzi/Steve Moore incident. Neither McSorley nor Bertuzzi did any jail time, but both were found guilty (or pled guilty) to crimes. In this case, we have a guy who died as a result of this intent to injure. I'm sure that his intention wasn't to kill the guy, but that's irrelevant. He's going to get convicted and he's going to do jail time, and deservedly so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
