In this case, it was a fight outside a bar at 1:10am. Crap happens. I'll wait to see exactly what happened. The "story" basically says that a buddy came over to assist his friend and got punched in the face. The version on CP is that the victim was huddled over the near-lifeless body of his beaten friend encouraging him to "stay with me...don't go to the light...come back..." when Ferland callously slammed him in the head with a lightpost he uprooted while in a drug-addled rage.
Fine, I exaggerate - but did you consider that "assist a friend" was for another drunk guy to pile in to the fracas and get his face broken. Isn't that as much a possibility than your equally fictitious version of events? Nah, it has to be Ferland's truly evil hidden inner character manifesting in a drunken "D-Bag move."
Your bolded bit above is such a pile of horse manure it warrants no rebuttal.

Of course I don't expect Flames fans to be doing much besides playing the "Wait till everything comes out card", just as I'm sure they would for an Oilers or Can####s prospect....lol. Regardless of what happened with the facts, whats indisputable is this shows bad judgement on his part. Notice we aren't hearing every 19-year old prospect getting involved in these types of incidents? At this point the truth may never come out, because as I mentioned before I can see one of his buddies falling on the grenade for him. Because if this does proceed, jail is obviously very possible.
As to the bolded part being a bunch of crap, I don't think you've spent too much time around drunks. As someone who spent 5 years in the liquor industry, alcohol truly does show a person's true colours. I've had many friends and associates talk about what good guys they are and how they aren't racist....but get a few drinks in them and the racial slurs are just flying everywhere. So they aren't racists, they are just racist when drunk? Alcohol prevents you from properly analyzing your actions, you simply do whatever you feel, which is what an individual who believes in their actions will do. If you're suggesting that isn't true, then you've clearly never had a drink in your life.
