Absolutely, that was nasty.

Most definitely. Guy should get a beating next time they play to, shame they are not in the same conference.

Does he have a history? Based on past suspensions, this isn't in the conversation. Probably a fine, maybe a game.

It was vicious, deserves more

 

Edit: and there you have it, 2 games

No excuse, but something happened prior to that play that Johnson didn't agree with. I was watching it on NHL Tonight, but they never went back to see what ignited Johnson. He's not that type of player.

We don?t need that play in hockey ? that gutless shove at the end was irresponsible.

 

1. League action warranted

2. ?See you next time? beating on order.

it wasnt vicious. It was a vulnerable player in a bad spot.

My comment was based on league history.

Nah. The linesman will get in there and protect him so he doesnt have to answer for it... like usual.
