You're just being silly. You don't get a penalty just for having your stick up, you have to hit someone with it. I get your point, but be reasonable.
This whole thread is silly! Talk about over reacting! Sure, I understand we are Leafs fans and hate to see our guys go down with an injury, but really.... it was an unfortunate accident, nothing more, nothing less. Same as when Phaneuf got sliced a couple seasons back - where was the outcry then? And a more extreme example of similar accident would be Zednik or Malarchuk.
Even use the tragic Berard injury as an example - don't tell me (Hossa was it?) tried to carve his eye out......
Hockey is a fast paced game, played with potentially damaging equipment (weapons). Accidents (and really bad ones) are bound to happen.
