Martin, I honestly did not see Cairns use a head butt. None of the announcers on ESPN mentioned it, so it must have been missed (as they cut back and forth between the other scuffle). If he did that, he should be fined/suspended as well. I'm all for playing tough, physical hockey, but I don't think they need to go out of their way to injure another player.
It goes on every year, and we can all list a bunch of questionable incidents from the past few years. I'm just surprised to see a guy like Corson lose control. It wasn't just the kick, I'm basically saying he played like a jerk. I mean, these are the Islanders, not known as a very tough team. What will he do if the Leafs make it to the Finals and he plays a tough team like Colorado? Is he going to cry?
As far as Pecca goes, I have to say it's just KArma. How many times did Kasparitus do the VERY same move, while wearing an Isles jersey? So, yeah, it sucks Pecca got hurt. But, he happens to play for an organization that allowed a cheap shot artist to do as he pleased for years.
