This was like 6 years ago now…. Yes it was really dumb and a very dangerous action.

Is it just me or did he retaliate on the wrong player?
ThingThatsJustBegun
Calvert was suspended all of one game for breaking his stick on a guy who happened to be near him when he was hit.
Absent any real action by the league, one of these days some asshole is gonna throw a hissy fit on the wrong guy and have his career ended on the spot. And it’s gonna be hilarious to watch the NHL wallow in the mess it made with its own toothless suspensions that allow pricks to run around and be pricks.
Also, when you watch the full video, you see that no Pens player steps up to challenge Calvert after this. The children on this sub have been *adamant* that fighting is So iMpOrTaNT to keep cheap shots from happening. So then why did everyone just stand around picking their arses here?

The video cuts, is the guy whose head he broke his stick over the guy he should have been mad at?

Still pisses me off. Columbus plays Pittsburgh super dirty. No wonder they always lose

I always loved Calvert when he was in Columbus but this was easily the dumbest and most despicable thing I remember ever seeing him do. There was no defending it even as a biased fan at the time.

Jail time for assault?

Wtf. This guy should’ve been banned from the league.

This edit is so cringey… theres nothing hard about hitting someone with a stick with their back turned. On the flip side, I’m sure the people in this video would think that it’s stupid as well

If this had happened 30 yrs ago there would have been a bench brawl.

Wow one of the worst things I’ve seen in sports. What a P.O.S.. That should have been a long suspension. The NHL is as bad as the FBI.

Any reason we are reaching back into the NHL archives for this one?

One game suspension. Unfortunately this is a basement league run by ex goons.

Matt Calvert is easily my favorite Blue Jacket of all time. I loved watching him grow as a player. This was a rare moment I wasn’t thrilled with him
