stick swinging incident in the AHL

[Matt_K]

Both players should definatly be dealt with.. Had the first swing connected, the second never would have happened.. The first was with a lot less force then the second, so a lot could have been prevented had he just connected.. It's a shame that this had to happen, especially at this time of the year and on the heels of the Bertuzzi/Moore incident, hopefully players will open their eyes are realize that this stuff can and should be prevented..

I think they'll both face suspensions, the guy who to the hit will get off lightly though..

Brutal.

That first guy swung the stick at him with intent but it seemed he just wanted to hit him not kill him, thought his swing was hard enough to hurt badly. The second guy didnt even get hit, and barely saw it, it seems(to me), so he shouldn't have wacked the guy like that in the face.

I think the first guy's(the one that went to the hospital) hit was pretty good punishment and he should be banned for a year or two from playing hockey in any league. The second guy I think should be banned for like, 10 years for playing in any league(ofcourse by then he will be too old).

Whats your thoughts?

Well the guy who connected with his swing got the rest of the playoffs and next year and the guy who got hit got 6 games I believe.

as long as there are no appeals that is correct

Nice. I'm going to go put on a hockey uniform and try to kill someone downtown tonight.

Should be out of jail in a week.
