Considering the leagues previous stance on them and the fact he isn't someone that stays in trouble he will probably just get a fine.
Mike Fisher Groin Spear On Erik Gudbranson

- Start date
If it was any verbal sparring that led to Fisher losing it, it's not excusable. Trash talk is not reason to go after a guys jewels like that. If it was physical, still no excuse. There is nothing Gudbranson could have done, save for repeatedly sticking Fisher in the groin, that could justify that.

That's pretty much what I said in my previous posts.
However I would argue there are some physical things that could be done to justify it to me. Whether they would be to you is a different matter, and well that's why they are called opinions.

So glad you stopped by to point this out. We'd all be lost without you.

Deserved a penalty, deserves a fine.
Uncharacteristic of Fisher. Must have let emotions get the better of him.

I feel like many don't know the difference between a spear and a slash..... 
Fisher, 2 min penalty for aggressive "cup check"....
Honestly though he should get a warning/fine, that stuff isn't cool. Hitting a mans twig and berries like that....

I've seen "stars" like Crosby do this all the time without so much as a mention. I a Canes game where he did this to Lindholm and then I think Gleason or Bellemore who confronted him after. I agree it's dirty and should face consequences (like diving)...but they've let it slide for so long by so many players I don't see them starting randomly now.
And that's a good excuse to try to make Gudbranson impotent. Okay.
Be right back. My little brother ruined the shirt I loaned him. I'm gonna go drown him in the pool.
Pietrangelo got Pouliot twice at the end of a game not too long ago and nothing came of it.
Wouldn't surprise me if Fisher said he was trying to bring his arms up to block the forearm shiver coming his way. Unfortunately his stick went between Gudbranson's legs.

thats actually how it looks. I realize as a Preds fan I can't be totally objective, but they are battling for the puck, Gudbranson leans into Fisher with his forearm to the face/upper chest, and Fisher falls back, pulling his stick up.. now, it looked like Fish probably "finished his check" but its not like he ran the guy down and stuck his stick in from behind, or took a swipe as he was skating by like a lot of these incidents
