Well the NHL has finally leveled its judgment regarding Rick Rypien's altercation with a fan during the Vancouver Canucks/Minnesota Wild Game the other night. The verdict? A 6 game unpaid vacation for the Canuck slugger.

Rypien got into an altercation with a fan after receiving a 10 minute misconduct after an altercation with Minnesota's Brad Staubitz. As he was heading to the dressing room the fan was standing right above the exit way and applauding. The fan apparently said to Rypien, "Way to be professional," as the Canucks' forward passed beneath him. Rypien, clearly frustrated, grabbed the front of the fan's shirt briefly before relinquishing his grasp and continuing on down the tunnel.

Though some might subscribe to the "No harm, no foul" school of thinking, the NHL clearly cannot have players engaging with fans in any sort of physically abusive behavior. This was a far cry from Mike Milbury hitting a fan with a shoe, but an example still had to be made.

Rypien will be eligible to return to the Canucks' line-up November 6th when the team faces the Detroit Red Wings.

More About Markus Naslund Jerseys
 
When it comes to the list of the most talented Vancouver Canucks of all time this guy is right up there with the best. While not quite in the class of Pavel Bure or Henrik Sedin, Naslund for a brief time was one of the most dominant forwards in the game, and was the first Canucks player to win the Lester B. Pearson Trophy. Though he tailed off during the end of his time in Vancouver and moved on to finish his career with the New York Rangers, Naslund was an immensely popular captain, and Markus Naslund jerseys remain in high demand today from fans who fondly remember his time with the team.

More About Stan Smyl Jerseys
 
Before Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure, Markus Naslund and most recently Henrik and Daniel Sedin came along there was no question in anyone's mind who the greatest Vancouver Canucks player of all time was Stan "Steamer" Smyl was Mr. Everything for the Canucks back in the 1980s and he played his entire career with the club, scoring 262 goals and notching 673 points. He was a key reason the Canucks reached the Stanley Cup Finals in 1982 and Stan Smyl jerseys still remain a popular choice among Canucks fans old and young.
