Uhm, either way… It still doesn’t warrant a blatently malicious cheap shot. If you’re pissed about something, you man up and go face to face about it, not do a spineless thing such as one-punching someone from behind. Shit like that has no place in the game. Any game for that manner. That shit is even lame in boxing. ---

> [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > so in a sport where you can check… you don’t want sucker punches Right, because contact has nothing to do with cheapshots. Shockingly, I don’t want sucker punches in ANY sport. He should get more than 9 games because this isn’t his first outburst like this. When he was still in the AHL he injured Connoly with a cheapshot elbow. He has a history of disgusting actions, and this should have been handled more strickly. There really isn’t any other way to look at it. It’s doubtful that 9 games will curb his behavior, and eventually he WILL injure someone. ---

> [@ILCisDEAD](#): > > when did i say the betruzzi thing was a good idea or cool… Well, you seem to have no problem with what happened to Jaroslav, and considering they were both cheap attacks from behind followed by shoving the victim into the ice, it could easily be assumed that you’re ok with the Bertuzzi play. ---

ugh you’re right, shit happens. i hope someone cold cocks you out of nowhere, then you come complain about it here, and someone says “shit happens”…life’s a contact sport right? so that makes it cool… what you’re clinging to is the fact that spacek will play next game. in fact, thats what the league clung to in only giving him 9 games. what if spaceks jaw was shattered? what if he broke his face falling to the ice unconscious? does that continue to fall under “shit happens?” what if steve moore didnt have his career end b/c of bertuzzi, and only had like a broken nose? that would then fall under “shit happens” b/c he wasn’t seriously hurt? wake the fuck up… get past the fact that spacek will live. realize the guy took off his glove to be a little bitch and hit him when he wasn’t looking. contact sport or fucking not, it was a bitch move and he should pay much more dearly than 9 games… btw, as to your “maybe you didnt play a sport where people get checked” line…ive played ice hockey my whole life. obviously you never had else you would be pissed off about it and not saying “shit happens.” and theres not a fucking ice cubes chance in hell max would ever do something stupid like this. and if he did, i’d say throw the fucking book at him too b/c flat out: THIS SHIT DOES NOT BELONG IN AN ORGANIZED PROFESSIONAL SPORT CALLED ICE HOCKEY. ICE HOCKEY IS NOT CALLED “SUCKER PUNCH LIKE A LITTLE BITCH” AND LET IGNORANT AND MISINFORMED PEOPLE (WHO PROBABLY SPENT THEIR CHILDHOOD THROWING TEA PARTIES FOR THEIR DOLLS AND NOT PLAYING ICE HOCKEY) SAY “SHIT HAPPENS” bedtime ---

He would never cheap shot someone like that ever, if he did he would have done it by now.So i dont get how u say u could see one of the best players in the league just go up and cheap shot someone and get thrown out of 9 games and lose 25,000$, hes alot smarter than that.The only time Afinogenov ever fights is when someone shoves or swings at him first.He always use’s it as a last resort unlike peters or other dumbasses on our team. Spacek is aggresive, thats how all good defensemen are.Of course its gonna piss people off when they get taken out of a play by a big or effective hit.:smash2: ---
