Kicking has no place in the game of hockey, same goes with diving... both can be used in soccer, so you're in the wrong sport buddy!
In addition to the whopping seven game suspension handed out by Liiga, he also tallied up a whopping 50 penalty minutes during that handshake line altercation.
Kodytek was given two 5+20 minute penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct and kicking an opponent after the end of a league match against the Aces on Saturday. The league said it had referred the situations to its disciplinary delegation. Kodytek kicked the Aces' Peter Tiivola during the final handshakes.
The League saidSeven games seems like he got off the leash pretty loosely, do you think he deserved a longer suspension?
