A player kicked a referee with his skate, another player violently swung his stick in the direction of the referee and received a suspension, and now there has been another "sticky" incident where a player is likely to receive�a suspension. It appears that many "hot heads" are on the loose in various leagues, especially the KHL and within foreign teams.
On Tuesday, a Russian player by the name of Alexander Kosterev attempted a lumberjack swing on the throat of an opponent after being dragged down to the ice, which was another serious stick infraction.
