For Peters it was a no brainer for him to lose his job for the racist comments even though they were 10 years ago, that was never acceptable.

However stuff like this I’m a bit more on the fence about.

Based on a lot of the hockey books I’ve read I don’t think kicking a player, or attacking him verbally was really that uncommon. The choking crosses a line but I have a feeling the kick in the ass on the bench was pretty common.

And as Btimbit said I’m not even sure these stories about Crawford are even new, pretty sure this stuff has been out in the open for a long time.

For stuff like this it’s stuff we really need to weed out from hockey moving forward but I’m not sure you should be able to go back 10 years on this stuff and have a guy lose his job because of it.

This and Peters racist comments are completely different types of things IMO.
