Though I had a mask or face sheild on, I did get hit with the same degree of force as Stafford.
I've also gotten into stick swinging bouts with people and I thought nothing of it. And I've only got one more thing to say:
ITS ALL PART OF THE GAME! SUCK IT UP

I'm all for the old time hockey as much as the next guy and I didn't see the big deal with the Bertuzzi punch, but come this is part of hockey? I've swung my stick at people a la Hextall, but to actually swing at a guys head, I mean I've speared a guy in the throat and I'd never swing my stick at peoples heads, this is not part of the game and ther is nothing to suck up this was a disgusting display, the more I see it the more I think lifetime is a good idea
