Players fighting with fans

Rick Rypien was hit with an indefinite suspension on Wednesday but will likely get only a six game suspension from NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell. Rypien grabbed a 28-year-old fan named James Engquist in Minnesota a night earlier.




I have to agree with a suspension. You can't be fighting paying customers and there is a real liability issue here. Interestingly Tie Domi got away with just a fine but no suspension for battling a Flyers fan back in 2001. In the video below you can clearly see that the incident was pretty much started by Domi.
