Ridiculas incident, no matter the situation it dosent matter if your down 20-0 and frustrated you cant do something like that and get away with it.
The league will certainally give him a hefty suspension but hard to put a number on it really.

When you think that Pominville getting blindsided resulting in injury, then Wisniewski "gesturing" towards Avery.....both recieved the same suspension and in my opinion the severity was nothing alike........to me this shows a real lack of continuity in the way and for what length they suspend people.

Having said this there is a fan involved and this makes the severity huge and hard to see him geting away lightly. If i was to chose i would say your right to go with the over 15 games.

Wow. 15? That seems really high. I honestly wouldn't of expected his suspension to be more than 4 games or so.

"Engquist attended the Wild-Vancouver game with his brother, Peter, getting seats directly behind the visitors' bench as a gift from their father: "I was just standing straight up applauding as he was getting kicked out. He was out of control. And then I said, 'Way to be professional,' and he obviously didn’t care for that comment and decided to grab me and almost dragged me over the rail. If my brother wasn’t grabbing me and the other player wasn't grabbing him, he probably would have dragged me over the edge."

I think, The NHL will throw the book at him and he could get the rest of the Year! -OilyDave

TSN knows hockey, and they say...

"If I were to handicap this, I would say five or six games would be the low end, seven or eight games would be the medium and nine or 10 would be if he really gets hammered."
