Pretty surprised at this but fair enough- he's an idiot and the type of player the league needs to stop hiring. Probably a wake up call for a lot of us actually as I'm sure if we'd signed him we'd have been quite happy... forgetting that these guys are actually just clowns in a lot of cases. I don't think the warning is specifically for future Fife games though. Just that they can't have a repeat of what happened in the game against Fife.

It's more a warning that any kind of "retribution" penalties on Manchester against any team wont be tolerated and Finnerty will be held accountable.

Could the day of the dinosaur be over in EIHL. Let's hope so.

We've talked about having a big guy to protect ourselves but really these idiots that fight for no REAL reason and take 'retribution' for perfectly clean hard hits are not what the sport's all about. The occasional dust ups and flash points are great but this pre-meditated stuff is cringey and bush league. I'd be embarrassed if a Fife player acted like Rosehill. Hopefully the league as a whole see's sense - after all, we try to follow the NHL on most things.

It's definitely a league wide statement.
You can't go considering a penalty in a different context against certain teams, it's one for all and all for one.
The league is basically saying to Manchester that they are responsible for their players behaviour and will be held accountable for this.

Everything the ref called was right on Rosehill, and they have clearly taken into consideration his past, not bothered him and Finnertys are no longer with us but look back at the game with Panthers and Steelers recently, watch the incident with Gangon and Fitzgerald, much more dangerous and both totally out of control , yet the bans were much less severe, wonder why
