MAybe its me, but I've always hated the unexpected punches and stick hits. I'm still pissed at the stick hit on Karyia from a few years back and I still want to see Domi lying motionless after what he did to Niedermayer. Emelin doesnt have any excuses and we dont need a guy who is willing to compromise the team for selfish reasons.Tuggy said:Results of the incident are bad but players throw punches all the time. This time Emelin just happened to connect.

it was a punch and not a stick-swinging incident.

According to a number of reliable witnesses, it was a punch NOT a stick. Varlamov skated over, LIKELY to apologize, no one said whether he said anything before the punch, so we don't know. But apparently the shot came after the wistle and Varlamov raised his arms as if "I didn't mean it - sorry" and then skated over. The rest is in the news brief on RP and I won't rehash it again. Hope this helps.
Again, this was not a stick hit, or a hit from behind, so wouldn't compare to Perezhogin or Bertuzzi. It was an undisciplined and malicious thing to do. I'd say it more compares to that baskeball incident when Houston's coach (forget his name) back when he was a player got nailed in a face by another player (Washington I think). He got hit so hard he had a concussion, brain fluid leakage, etc. Hopefully this isn't as serious - but it is just a hard punch.
