Did anyone see that hit? The guy on the Hamilton Bulldogs nailed the guy on Cleveland across the face with a two-handed slash. The guy on Cleveland lost teeth, broke his nose, and a third-degree concussion. Thank God Garrett Stafford is still alive; I feel the guy on the Bulldogs should be banned from hockey for the rest of his life.

Stafford is a goon and if you watched the play before Perezoghin slash him in the face he was pushed from the back and Stafford put his sitck in his face wich is a total lack of respect . Perezoghin then loss control and slashed him but imo he didn't knew he was on his knee so he took the hit in the face .
He should get a suspension but there is no way they ban him , he's not a dirty player and never did bad thing before .... unlike Bertuzzi who jumped on a guy half his size and had a reputation of a dirty player before .

A Habs fan trying to justify what that @sshole did..... sad.

The bottom line is it was uncalled for and there is no place for that in hockey. That was just brutal and regardless of Stafford's background and what he tried to do, there was NO reason for him to two-hand Stafford across the face.

It was another sad day for hockey. More bad press and this time from the minors. I think players have to be responsible for their actions and Perezhogin should pay for the slash. This was worse then anything in NHL yet and he should be suspended for awhile.

Stafford get a 6 games suspension
Perezoghin get a full year ....
They penalized the result not the act and it's a shame . Officials are way to pâtien in playoffs...
