I worked a long, long time in this stupid business which unleashes mindless drunks onto the public at 2:00 in the morning. I am sure it is possible but I find it unlikely that the guy that got punched was simply "helping some one up". There are 2 sides to every story and most drunk people think a) their side is right and 2) they are completely innocent.
Another side of this gong show is that the lawyers for Ferland and the PR machine for the Flames are telling everyone on their side to shut up so we aren't hearing the other side of the story.
Being from Cochrane I can also guess that the 2:00 in the morning crowd at the saloon was 95% locals so the "witnesses" are probably the buddies of the guy who got punched.
Listen, for sure there is a chance that Ferland sucker punched some innocent guy in the head at 2:00 am but my experience tells me we probably shouldn't be wasting time feeling sorry for anyone in this story.....heal up and move on, don't be out getting into crap at 2:00 am and be glad the guy didn't land on his head and die....both sides.
