An eye for an eye? Or a toxic tradition? “One of the Vancouver Canucks’ rising young stars, 19-year-old Elias Pettersson, was slammed to the ice. A week later, the reverberations are only growing louder. “Pettersson was in the offensive zone and embarrassed Florida Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson with a deke so sick Matheson fell on his face. “Matheson then gets up, tracks down the Swede, hammers him into the wall, and then, with Pettersson in the air and in no position to protect himself, shoves him head-first to the ice. “Pettersson’s head bounced a couple of times off the hard surface. “As sickening to watch as that was, what happened next revealed more about a league, a city, and the future of professional hockey.” Story here. — Geoff D’Auria |
