Brashear Says McSorley Should Get Lifetime Ban

Donald Brashear says Marty McSorley should never be allowed to play in the NHL again for the stick attack that gave the Vancouver Canuck forward a serious concussion.

“He really tried to injure me,” Brashear told the NHL Players’ Assn. TV show “Be A Player,” which aired in Canada on Friday.

“I could have died. I don’t think this guy should be playing in the league anymore,” Brashear added in his first extensive remarks on the Feb. 21 attack by the Boston Bruin defenseman.

McSorley was suspended by the NHL for the rest of the season and playoffs, the harshest punishment ever handed out for an on-ice infraction.
