It looks like I'm in the minority here, but seeing the replay I was actually surprised an extra game suspension was tacked on.

Based on what everyone was saying, I was expecting to see something much more dramatic and dangerous. Watching the replay, it looks like Priskie's skate blade never leaves the ice, and it is the top of his skate boot that makes contact with the Yale player's chest. I think we've all seen post-whistle scrums where someone cross-checks a player just as hard, in the chest or even higher, where no penalty is even called. Perhaps it looked a lot worse up close, but based on the replay I can't imagine anything more than the two game suspension Priskie wound up with being appropriate.

Personally I don't think that it matters that only his boot seemed to hit the player. It's the idea that he was using a "potentially lethal weapon".

All you have to do is look at what happened to Haiskanen. That was an accident. Now think of what could have happened if someone intentionally used their skate blade to hurt someone.

Sure it was only the boot, but it could have slipped and went to a non-padded area.

I think the ECAC was correct to "say" any use of a skate to try and injure someone will unequivocally not be tolerated.

Do it now and not wait for some tragedy to happen.

Should have just played there under an assumed name and kept his eligibility.  And yes, I am positive somebody has done this at some time.
