One team was not happy with the actions of the other so they sent a message. Your monster goon just hurt one of our guys so we're going to send our goon out to have at one of your guys. The stupid thing was sending your top line out there when you know what is coming and you have last change.

The kid got hurt because he took his helmet off. Thats why the NHL is making it mandatory to have helmets on.
