So you had one of few non-Whites that play professional hockey with a known history of aggression and penalties on the ice (moreso than most players), kill another player during a game with an action that should be grounds for ejection even if it it didn't strike the player.

If he's still allowed to play and goes right back to his shitty behavior, it will be obvious he has no remorse for what he did
