#NHL fines Del Zotto and Panthers Tomas Kopecky the maximum $2,500 each, Del Zotto for his cross check on Kopecky, Kopecky for sucker punch.

…wtf? Del Zotto’s high stick was accidental, while Kopecky threw a blatant sucker punch. How in the world are they both fined the same amout?

…no word on if Rupp will receive any disciplinary action. Assuming he will.
