I just feel that this will breed more hate and negativity because I think Ferland will win. If the guy was trying to milk the situation, chances are he's not rich. Counter-suing someone who will take probably upwards of 10+ years to pay you back $90,000 and most likely destroying his life in the process seems unnecessary. This is not to mention how Ferland will collect from the guy, which I imagine will be like pulling teeth. A constant reminder of a stupid night and an ugly, public mess to follow.
I agree with djsFlames - take the high road, focus on Hockey and make it your goal to be an NHL regular.

There's more to it than money that you need to take into account. Even if Ferland had no personal gain by Counter-suing its his responsibility to file this counter suit. An example will be made of this d-bag which will hopefully lead to less false claims against people just because they have money to pay out in court.
Not taking action would be the same as catching a burglar and deciding not to call the cops because you caught him. He's then free to move onto the next house and hope for a better outcome with no consequences.
