This man should never be allowed to play professional hockey again. Ever.

And don't give me that "but his two season suspension is punishment enough'. I'm getting sick and tired of seeing all this 'over the edge' hooliganism shit in hockey. It's bad for the sport, and someone is going to get killed someday. This was more than 'two tough guys going at it', or a cheapshot from behind that went all wrong. This is a man who was looking to cause a serious injury to another player because he wanted vengence.

And yes I know hockey is an emotional game. I play hockey myself. But I don't care what level of anger or frustration you feel, and I don't care what the other guy did to you beforehand, nothing justifies taking a full two-handed swing with a metal composite stick right into someone's exposed face.

He knew he was swinging that stick like an axe. He knew where it was going to hit. He didn't do a thing to stop himself. A person doesn't go into convulsions because someone gave them a gentle lovetap.

So, I say it again.

This man should never be allowed to play professional hockey again. Ever.
