Defenceman Marco Scandella of the Val-d’Or Foreurs hits Rimouski’s Alexandre Durette Wednesday night

Just a head's up - there is a close-up of the stitches required after this hit. Might not be for the squeamish.

I'm interested to see what kind of reaction this gets from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's disciplinary committee. It looks marginally cleaner then Patrice Cormier's, but they'll want to crack down on this sort of thing.

I will, of course, have commentary on events as they unfold.
