International
Pretty violent looking hit, apparently Fanelli's helmet was broken, and he sustained a fractured skull and orbital bone on the play.
The blood was said to have been the result of a previous cut being re-opened by the hit. The latest news I could find said that the 16 year old rookie is in "citical but stable condition", and that he was unconcious as he was being stretchered off the ice. Wow...Hope the kid is ok.
in the end of it all.... fanelli should not have turned ... I know it would have been prob the same but different .... better to go with the back of ur head into the glass/ turnbuckle ... then the face.... any other player ...jumps out of the way/ into liambus.... You can also blame liambus for the speed he was carrying .... DONT TURN AWAY KIDS !! man up and take the hit ...

Liambus was goin full speed when fanelli turned around hows he gonna stop in a fraction of a second. He must feel terrible and its a tragic thing. But accidents happen.
By alexdabek [Affiliate User] 1257473080 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeit was a hit gone wrong, ya it was bad but suspended for a year? maybe banned for life, thats too much. Ya he got hurt pretty bad but the rules say u can hit another player as hard as you want, it just ended up unfortunate. It was pretty dirty but he shoulda saw liambus coming, u shouldnt turn around behind the net and not think ur not gonna get hit. Suspension, yes but not for a full season.
By alexdabek [Affiliate User] 1257472795 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCharging is the best penalty you can take in hockey... besides you can come around from behind the net with your head down and not expect to be hit. He would have been fine if he didn't turn his body at the end. Good hit dont think the guy below me has played hockey for more than a few years if that.
