Fair or Foul?

[_SP_ 129]

100% fair. He earned it. They dropped the gloves, no retaliatory cheap shot. Just desserts.

Agreed.

Was listening to Sirius XM NHL, and I damn near wanted to barf...Afternoon host 'Boomer'  feels there's no place for fighting in the game - even if there's 2 willing partners.

Now - I'm well past the whole 'enforcer' debate, and staged fighting, but eliminating from the game entirely?

What is this revenge for?

I didn't think it was a dirty hit.  Guy was going for the hit.  Split second play.  I have no issue with the Florida guy either wanting revenge for being hit.  

How come Florida players aren't equally as eager to retaliate against Max Domi for sucker punching Ekblad?

I just think that a man named MacKenzie deserves it.

All Steve Moore had to do was take an upper cut from Todd Bertuzzi like that.  Then he could have continued his s***ty career.  Byron owned up to his high hit and squared his debt.

Good clean fight they dropped gloves and squared up.

After Weegar drops Byron as he is skating away it looks like he is checking back to see if Bryon is okay.

Guy who got whacked taking care of business.  Byron gets props for being willing to answer for his actions.

Did you mean to quote me? Your response seems like its directed at the topic opposed to what I asked. I didn't see the game or the backstory to the fight. The headline says "MacKenzie Weeger gets revenge on Paul Byron", so I'm truthfully asking what this "revenge" was for. I'm not saying anything was or was not dirty.

The revenge was for a hit in a prior game.  The video in the top post shows that.  I thought you were wondering like me why revenge was even needed for that hit.

Weeger is a ***** who got concussed by a midget, and then beat up said midget.

My bad, when I first checked the thread I just watched the one video.

The hit didn't seem that bad, didnt seem like a charge, but I cant remember the exact rule on that. He did leave the ice with his skates, but I'm not sure how much of an impact that made.

[Learn2LuvIt 245]

This.  Is.  Hockey.

Totally the way it should be and why the game is the greatest sport in the world.  Actions, Consequences, and Prairie Justice

I didnt think it was bad either. He got 3 games for it tho. I think its more if the NHL overcompensating for future liabilities.
