Heres the suspensions as result of the altercations......

Hurricanes:
Dwight King 5 games for leaving the bench
Michael Dyck (coach) 5 games.......... this one kinda baffles me unless he sent King on the ice
Craig Orfino 3 games for leaving the bench

Tigers:
Matt McCue 2 games for taking on the entire hurricanes team

Its too bad King will be out for the Hurricanes vs Hitmen game next friday. It will be the first game between the 2 with the new Hurricanes team since the Beach trade. And without King in the lineup it gives the Hurricanes fans an excuse for the Hitmen handing them their lunch!!!! Still should be a great game though!
Why would Hurricanes fans need an excuse about losing to the top team in the conference in a regular season game?

The suspensions look pretty good to me. I would have liked to see McCue get more but I am fine with the 2 games. I will also take a 5 game suspension 10 times out of 10 to see King react that way in that situation. About time he finally showed a little sign of life.

I continue to laugh at the Beach costs the Canes comments or the Beach is a bad teammate comments as well.

He has been great since coming to the Canes and has helped with drawing penalties and scoring a lot more than he has hurt the team. He didn't force King or Orfino to come off the bench. Sure he could end up hurting the team but so far he has been the exact opposite of what the nay-sayers have told Canes fans to expect.
