Controversial suspension on a Canucks' player after he shoved an official
The Abbotsford Canucks were playing the San Jose Barracuda this Sunday and Vincent Arseneau got involved in a fight with Montana Onyebuchi.
Although both delivered a good effort in the tilt, it's not what retained the most attention. The linesmen stepped in quite fast to stop the fight and Arseneau was not done. Since he wanted the fight to keep on going he ''shoved'' the linesman. Here's the clip of the full fight and the linesman intervention on the Canucks' player:
Clearly, Arseneau's actions didn't sit well with the American Hockey League safety department since they've decided to suspend the winger for 3 games. As reported by Ben Lypka, followed by the league's official statement:
''Vincent Arseneau of the Abbotsford Canucks has been suspended for three games due to his actions on Saturday's game against San Jose Barracuda. It's likely when he shoved an official who was breaking up a fight he participated in.''
Was this ''shove'' really worth 3 games?
