Denies the charges. I really hope so but we know how Ferland can throw 'em. Guy was out cold and has a broken orbital bone. If it was him, you know he was instigated. Really hope this doesn't hold back his career at all.

As far as I'm aware of this would be his first offense. Can't see that holding back his career. He's a tough guy and a good hockey player but, hopefully in the future he'll make better decisions.

Agravated assault causing injury is very serious stuff common or simple assault causing no injury with a first time offense is a fine so i am sure Ferland will just get a fine cause well he is a Hockey player and we all know how Myles Bell got off lol

From the family it sounds like he had nothing to do with it and the Police just arrested and charged him because of who he was. Sounds like some douche wanted to fight him and one of his family members stepped in and Michael got charged

Gotta stay out of the bars. There is just too much potential in Michael to get distracted by the bar scene ... and all that goes with that.

Now is the time to keep the eye on the prize and zero in on it with razor sharp focus. No time for bar scene nonsense right now.
