Grossman Gets What He Deserves:

Storm forward, Elias Grossman fully gets what he deserves. Thanks to Hockey Alberta for sending the message, that players wont get away with antics like this. I was at Game 2 of the Doyle Cup and was truly disscusted in what I saw late in the game. Grossman levelled Bryce Kakoske deep in the Grande Prairie zone with a huge elbow to the head. The Vipers come flying in, as both teams started pushing and shoving as tempers once again started to flare up. Cole Ikkala was hit across the face-side of the head with a blatent slash by Josh Juell, and then Kevin Kraus was speared and slashed as the Storm were gooning it up. The officials were having all kinds of troubles trying to contain Grossman who went nuts, pushing and shoving the linesmen, at one point Grossman had the linesmen by the neck wrestling with him as he was trying to excorted off the ice. As Grossman and the linesmen were by the far end gates, Grossman spit in the face of the official after man handling him. You have to wonder if former Vipers head coach and gm, Mike Vandekamp should have been fined or suspended? In a 6-2 blowout, Vandy sends out a player like Grossman for what reasons? To send a message for Game 3, thats not the message you want to send. In all my years of watching Junior Hockey I have never witnessed something like this before & hope something like this dosnt happen again.
