The Other Side On The Givani Smith Incident

from Josh Brown of the Waterloo Region Record,

The footage showed him flipping the bird to Soo players just after the Rangers extended their playoff lives with an emotional 4-3 overtime victory against the Greyhounds in Game 6 of their Ontario Hockey League western conference final this past Sunday.

The 20-year-old was suspended for two games by the OHL for making "an inappropriate gesture" and had to watch the Rangers' season end in double overtime from the press box Monday in the Soo.

The incident sparked a series of racially charged comments on social media.
