^^ I saw the video of it, and even though King will certainly be suspended, I don't have as much of a problem with what he did than with McCue pounding on Sceviour (who, as you mentioned, was just standing there). I hear some 'Canes fans try to claim Beach was just trying to kill time which is laughable though.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it when McCue played for the Bruins 'cause he was good for at least 2 penalties/power plays a game when they played the Giants.
Doesn't it just make you look forward to the next time they play though? As much as both teams and those involved will be vilified and punished, it definitely adds some much-needed intensity to a league that seems to be getting softer and softer. I remember games ten years ago when, if one team was trailing by 4 or 5 goals at the end, the last two minutes would take about 45 to play. And NOBODY left early.
EDIT: saw your comment about the refs: agree with you completely. Haven't had a chance to hear what my friend's brother (a WHL linesman, he wasn't there though), has to say about the whole thing..
