this situation would be akin to a pitcher throwing at a batter on purpose only for the ball to rise and hit the batter's head and killed him.

100%. Even if that pasta-headed shitbag didn't at the moment intend to murder the guy, he obviously intended to slash him with that back kick.

Did he at least do some time in the box?

Game was called off (abandoned), I'd imagine yes? High stick without intentional contact is 2 mins so maybe they put him in the box for 2 just to blow off some pressure between teams to prevent payback and escalation had the guy just been injured and not dead.

I'm not a hockey guy, I like my sports turn-based like baseball and cricket.
