Should a suspension even apply in this case? Kopecky's punches are so weak I doubt they can injure anyone in the league.

Ask Patrick Sharp what Kopecky's punches can do to a man's face.

Real piece of s*** move by Kopecky. Good on Rupp for going to town on him.

Both MDZ and Kopy got fined $2,500.

Not sure why MDZ should get fined the same amount, if receive any fine at all.

He cross checked him in the head, way high. That was probably more dangerous than the sucker punch. Suckers punches are weak, but if he got me in the head with a cross check like that I'd have done the same thing. Del Zotto didn't drop the gloves before whacking Kopy in the head, why should Kopy have to do any different?

Probably broke his nail off his face.

It was in jest, GMR. Give me a break.

I wish the Wings could have picked up Rupp. I'll forgive his past as a... *gag* Penguin; he can play, and play tough.

"Kopetsky" would be correct. In many Slavic languages, the letter 'c' without an accent makes a 'ts' sound. So Kopecky would sound like "Kopetsky"

As someone of Polish descent, who's last name ends in "cki", I can vouch for under_par's explanation.
