Blackhawk Down
I'll put $20 towards that Pateryn doesn't even get fined.
Exactly. I can't believe folks think it is okay to sucker punch a guy when he's already down on the ice. Conscious or not. 3 games minimum.
As for Shaw: I said when I first saw Shaw play with Hawks that he wouldn't be able to play like that for too long. I reckon his NHL career is close to being over. Getting suckered like that doesn't help.
Quiz: Does Pateryn get suspended?
how is it a sucker punch? he attacked him face to face...Pateryn didn't know he was out, and he was pissed how high and late Shaw went..that is old school hockey, you throw a dangerous hit like that, get ready for some punches..and if Shaw wasnt knocked out he would be punching back...but that is why Pateryn stopped ONCE he realized Shaw was out..no issues there, there will be no fine to Pateryn at all...if there is anything that happens, change the name of the league and put ice dancing skates on as the sport has simply lost its edge.Exactly.

come on Bobby, your an old school guy - it is a natural reaction what Pateryn did- we see something like that probably 20-30 times a season, only difference is Shaw was knocked out. Shaw came in high, late, and fast - Pateryn's natural defense was to throw punches as it could have been very ugly for him if Shaw was a bit taller...you have to see the guy reacted the way most of us would and then stopped once he realized he was beating up someone counting sheep. I do not see any outrage here,
"Throw the damn towel!" certainly has its place on this site from time to time, too.
you are talking about Shaw's late high hit right?Fine. Last word is: I like physical hockey but I despise chicken-**** plays like that.

He was racing towards the boards chipped it out and then a second later got hit on top of the head by Shaw's jaw. I really don't get what you're seeing here.The hit was fine if that jackass had his head up. I think he was embarrassed to get caught admiring his pass by little Shaw more than anything

Shaw went high. Pateryn got hit in the head from a direction he didn't really see, went after the guy who went high on him, and stopped once he realized Shaw was in trouble.
That's hockey.
Pateryn landed towards the feet of Shaw, he started raising his fists to punch right then and there...no way he would know Shaw was out from starring at his skates first...he threw some bows, realized the dude was out and stopped..I again don't get what code you are talking about Bobby as hockey never had a code. was there a code to not tomahawk chop a player over the head with a stick? a code to not crawl into the stands and club on fans? a code to not stomp on a players hand with your skate? what code are you speaking of??
Pateryn was caught in the heat of the moment and reacted the way he knew how, I am happy he stopped when he saw Shaw out, that shows true character as we can name a few dozen rats who would have kept punching.
in some ways i agree. the tap on the shoulder from 1 goon to another and a nod. then they square off. that is the most asinine thing that i saw, starting to my best recollection..... that was when i started to loose interest in most games.Friendly reminder that fighting in hockey is stupid and makes the sport look silly.
