is the judge stunned or something? He attacked someone that didn't want anything to do with the fight and pounded him pretty good, I am pretty sure if I did that out in public just because, I would have had the book thrown at me. meh, whatever.

We're in Canada, no one gets the book thrown at them... LOL

and besides with all the media attention, I can bet he'll think twice next time... It was a spur of the moment thing, we've all done stupid things, especially while playing hockey, I know i've been guilty of throwing the first punch.. A few times

Now what he did was a little overboard, but by no means did I ever expect he'd get jail time or anything, nor would I really want him to, way to big of a precedent...
