“I didn’t intend to hurt him”
A frustrated Vancouver Canuck cries as he awaits league sanctions for his part in accidentally chasing up behind and sucker punching an opponent (from behind) and then piling onto his back to ride him head first into the ice thus knocking him unconscious and breaking his neck. Only partially convinced of his sincerity, the NHL gets tough and suspends the player for the balance of the season. He will later receive what constitutes a slap on the wrist from criminal court proceedings.
