Question for hockey fans
 
Did anyone of you guys see the fight between Darcy Tucker (Leafs) and Cam Janssen (Devils)? If you didn't, it's your typical scrap with punches actually being thrown. Tucker's helmet is off and he grabs Janssen's off his head and tries to use it to hit Janssen in the head twice. He sort of hits Janssen's shoulder more than anything but he's clearly holding on to the helmet and clearly swings twice with it gripped in his hand.

The NHL announced that Tucker would be fined $2500 with no suspension. Does that seem right? Is it a light punishment because the outcome was without injury? Is it the conduct or intent that should be punished? I'm not trying to stir up a Bertuzzi/McSorely/Hunter debate. I'm just curious what other hockey fans made of it.

Definately one of the more bizzare fights I've seen in a long time. Probably a couple of games suspension would have been warranted since he was in posession of a weapon. Looks like they went light on him, though, because he couldn't use it properly :doh:

:fencing:

Here is the video. Kind of slow DL but thought it would add some context to the issue.

Definitely a weird fight by two light weights. It was a slap on the wrist for my man, Tucker who normally doesn't do that. Should've been two games minimum.

I hate the Devils and I hate Darcy Tucker. Too bad both dudes couldn't lose that fight--or at least draw some blood on Tucker.. It was a good one though. Thanks for sharing.
