Now i have had the flu and missed Friday's game but i did listen on the radio and it sounded pretty wild. It started when Kootney goalie ( Glass ) hit Bronco forward David Murray with his blocker in the face. As Murray fell to the ice, dazed and not seeming to know where he was, Glass continued his attack with his blocker hitting Murray repeatedly in the head as Murray laid on the ice. Bronco players came to Murray's aid and out from the melee came Glass and skated out to the blue line and laid the challenge to Bronco goalie Kyle Moir. Moir, knowing that Glass is trying to get him ejected also wouldn't bite. Glass skated to his bench removing his gear. When he was standing there listening to the penalties he fully expected to get a game and suspension. When the ref announced 2 min. for roughing he got dressed real quick and went back to defending his net.
The Murray that Glass took out with his blocker is the same Murray who put Glasses younger brother out with a concussion before Murray became a Bronco and played with Lethbridge. During a radio interview in Med Hat Glass said he thought there was no way he would still be in the game and was shocked he only got two minutes.
Dean Chynoweth, seeing Murray laying on the ice and watching Glass skate out and challenge Moir, let the ref know what he thought of his call. The ref gave Dean a 10 minute misconduct. Then Dean went crazy throwing a water bottle at the ref and then receiving a gross misconduct. He then threw a couple more water bottles at the ref before being escorted to the dressing room and the fans taking over in the bottle throwing. I don't know about this ref, but then to rub salt in the womb he gives The Bronco's a bench minor for the fans delaying the game. After that call security i'm told had to call in The R.C.M.P. to instill order and escort the ref off the ice and to his vehicle.
Now i have a little question. If a goalie uses his blocker several times on a player and skates out and challenges the opposing goalie to a fight, is that not more than two for roughing?
Maybe CH was there and can shed a little light on this. From what i have been told it was a very viscious attack.
