Brutal. Can't take a hit...

I think shit like that should get you kicked outta the league. No excuse for that, it's assault with a weapon.

Didn't mcsorely get booted for that? Punching a guy and hitting his face with your stick are two totally different ball games.

found this. i guess we're both right

On February 21, 2000, McSorley, playing for the Boston Bruins, swung his stick and hit Donald Brashear in the head with seconds left in the Bruins-Vancouver Canucks game. Brashear lost consciousness and suffered a Grade 3 concussion, but not from immediate contact with the stick. The stick hit Brashear's helmet, but caused him to fall backward. His loosely strapped helmet allowed his head to hit the ice.
McSorley was subsequently suspended for 1 year. On October 4, 2000, a jury found McSorley guilty of assault with a weapon for his attack on Brashear. He was sentenced to 18 months probation. The trial was the first for an on-ice attack by an NHL player since 1988. McSorley attempted a comeback, but he never played another NHL game.

Best fight ever was Wayne Maki verses Ted Green back in the days of the original six, stick fighting at its finest and Ted even has a plate in his head to remember it.
