Have you no sense of decency?- Montreal Canadiens sign Andrew Conboy

He was suspended by his college hockey team two months ago. From AP-

Andrew Conboy, suspended by Michigan State this season for an attack on a Michigan player, signed a three-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday.

Conboy opted to turn pro with Hamilton of the AHL, Montreal's top farm team, after he was suspended. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound left wing has one assist and four penalty minutes in seven games with the Bulldogs.

The 20-year-old Conboy and teammate Corey Tropp, a Buffalo Sabres prospect, were suspended for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs by the Spartans on Jan. 26 after an incident with less than 1 minute to play in a 5-3 loss to the Wolverines.

After Michigan's Steve Kampfer knocked Tropp down with an open-ice hit, he was punched to the ice from behind by Conboy, and Tropp then swung his stick at the Anaheim prospect's head. Kampfer was taken to hospital with a sprained neck, but there was no concussion.

This guy is an animal. I swung a hockey stick at a player's neck. The NHL could have another Todd Bertuzzi in the making.

Corey Tropp swung the stick... (Below threshold)
Rosemount:

Corey Tropp swung the stick, not Conboy.


I played with Andrew in high school, he's not such a bad guy.

- Do some more research before making a snap judgment.
