When starting with a new coach and the majority of the team being new to the league too, lots of unknowns. Inferno is often criticised for over reacting to events and I dare say that is true on occasions. However, many on here have raised concerns about the make up and performance of the team based on what they see. Something needs to change, unless we try we will never know. As a fan, I would rather see us be proactive and take some hard decisions, I would respect the will to try and turn this around. As I say, rather be damned for giving it a go irrespective of the outcome , it would be seen as taking a positive step and responding to the current situation.

I'd be disappointed with anything more than a 3 game ban. Maybe a combination of abuse of official and then carrying on punching on the floor perhaps.
But I can't see anything off the ice which he should be banned for. Interacting with the fans from the ice is not banworthy. And when that fella bolted down the stairs quicker than I thought a human could move, once he got close he backed off and it was a bit of a non incident after that.

I was stood by the bench..the bottle of coke flew over the glass and missed McNally by a few inches..McNally pointed up at the stands and then as I turned round to look at where he was pointing, I see the Dundee fan absolutely leg it down the steps..I grabbed hold of him and managed to turn him away, but there was no fight from him, he just wanted his 5 minutes of fame..absolute whopper!!
Just a standard Wednesday night trip to Dundee

The annoying thing for me with the McNally incident is that we had just got a very late goal to get ourselves back into the game that we didn't really deserve to be in and be on a high going into the third period.
It all happened after the whistle went to end the period. If everyone had skated off we may have come out for the third and taken control of game but any chance of that went with McNally losing it.
I would imagine he wasn't very popular in the room afterward. It's not like he was sticking up for someone or anything, just stupidly losing it.

Fair enough. Hockey has gone way too soft. Benn Olson didn’t get a ban when he actually punched a fan who entered his personal space.
McNally and the fan don’t even get near each other so that’s a non starter.
Punching a guy when he’s down- if those are punches then we are in serious trouble.
Abusing an official- yeah fair enough on this one as he does strike the refs arm looking at it again.
Pushing Drydn Dow, there wasn’t much in that. Dow lost his balance, but it was no different to any after whistle scrum (pushing and shoving).
I take exception to your ‘you always say that’ as generally I’d like to think I’m pretty fair when I observe hockey incidents.
Admittedly I’m STILL struggling to transition from the old school to this new era hockey where only goals get fans out of their seats.
Mike Ware and Nicky Chinn incident against Guildford springs to mind here.
