Well, as it turns out, looking at the video it certainly looks like it was a kid who drew the ire of the Canucks fighter.
So, what do you think? Does that look like a father protecting his child? Does it add to the already lengthy punishment that should be coming down from Colin Campbell?
Remember, Ron Artest got 73 games for attacking a fan. If it turns out that it is a child, Rypien needs to miss the rest of the season. No question about it.
ADDED:
Has Manny Malhotra lost his mind? Watch the replay again. Malhotra is staring right at the fans. At no point did the fans reach over the boundary or "cross the line". At no point, until Rypien reaches up and over the wall and grabs the young man, do the fans make contact with Rypien. Unreal.
