Player Appears To Kick Opponent in Clash Between Two Former NHLers

With everything going on surrounding Adam Johnson's tragic incident, it is crazy to think that another player would intentionally use his skates against an opponent. However, that's what appeared to happen in this Swiss National League game.

During the game, Martin Frk tried to lay a hit on his opponent, which he missed and landed himself in his own bench. As his opponent held him there, he started to swing his skates in a kicking motion.

Luckily, no one was seriously injured in the play, as this could have resulted in the worst.

Frk was immediately ejected from the game for his actions. While it is hard to tell if the kick was intentional or not, this ejection was well warranted. Now, Frk is expected to get supplemental punishment from the League.

Hopefully, everyone can learn their lesson on how dangerous swinging skates can be in hockey.
