Yeah I'm not saying responding to words with violence is alright at all - but a few more accounts surfacing that the man who got knocked out was really going at his mom and possibly even pushed her in front of a huge crowd.
As such I really can't see the NHL fraternity looking down on him for this. And as others have said there are probably GMs out there where it actually raises his stock.
Again not saying that's right or wrong but hockey is also a violent sport where standing up for yourself and swinging first is celebrated. It probably only hurts him if he does get jail time or has his rights to work in the US impacted.
