[net.sport.hockey] Billy Smith in trouble?

goun@cadlac.DEC (Roger H. Goun) (01/16/85)

I heard a teaser on CNN Sports last night that Billy Smith of the New York
Islanders may be brought up on charges in connection with a slashing
incident.  Unfortunately it was late, and I couldn't stay up to hear the full
report.  Can anyone supply the details?

Thanks.

It probably has to do with the game in Chicago
when Smith broke Curt Frazier's (left-winger for the Hawks)
cheekbone, putting him out 4-6 weeks.  Smith hit Frazier
with the top of his stick and later claimed that he was
justified in doing so since he had to clear the crease.
I can guarantee you Smith is going to catch hell when he
comes back to Chicago again.
