Islanders' Travis Hamonic: Tore ligaments in fight

Hamonic (thumb) suffered torn ligaments in his thumb during his scrap with Flyers' Dale Weise in late March, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

No doubt the contingent of players, team execs, and fans looking to eliminate fighting in hockey will point to this incident, among others, as another reason to ban players from dropping the gloves. Hamonic was sidelined for the final six games of the season, although the Isles went undefeated without him. The blueliner can now shift his focus to getting healthy for next year.
