Kerry Fraser chimes in on the Nystrom-Letang hit

Did you see Eric Nystrom's hit on Kris Letang last night?

Mike Milbury did, and thought it warranted a 5-game suspension.  (Perhaps MM remembers some of the damage Eric's pop laid on him in 1980)  Mike engaged in a heated argument on the air with Jeremy Roenick last night.

Kerry Fraser, in his TSN column, offers his view.  http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=389235  Kerry concludes "I never thought the day would come that Mike Milbury and I would be on the same side of this issue but the day of reckoning has finally arrived."

Apparently, Brendan Shanahan disagrees with Milbury and Fraser.  Per a Darren Dreger tweet, "No discipline hearings for either Smyth or Nystrom for last nights hits. Warnings or fines possible."
