Kerry Fraser On The Clayton Stoner Hit On Max Pacioretty

from Kerry Fraser of TSN,

After an internal review of Clayton Stoner’s hit on Max Pacioretty, the Player Safety Committee announced this morning that no subsequent action will be taken against the Ducks player. Even though there appeared to be no malice on the part of Stoner, it is my opinion that a formal hearing should have been convened based on the illegal cross-check which caused Pacioretty to launch face-first into the glass and resulted in injury. At the very least, Stoner should have been be fined for the careless act that warranted a cross-checking major and game misconduct in the game.

continued and watch the hit below if you missed it...

Also, Pacioretty did not practice today and is listed as day-to-day.
