James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This is some hardcore, Tonya Harding level brutality on ice. Former NHL player (and ex-member of the Maple Leafs) André Deveaux lost it before a Swedish playoff game and attacked defenseman Per Helmersson.

Deveaux chopped him down like a tree and didn’t stop there. Not cool dude.
