to both beccz and h2p, I do see what you're both saying, and you're both right in a way.

in the end of it though, as much as the league and fans allow certain things to happen, I think if we're being honest about this, what he did was sneaky, against the rules, and intended to inflict harm upon a fellow player. I understand that in terms of how the game is accepted to be played, and in terms of it being more of a rough sport than others, fighting is encouraged, etc. we're expected to let things go... but where's the line?

what Byfuglien did was some Sean Avery shit, and I personally have no tolerance for it.
