The reactions of the HF boards are a lot different than here. Conspiracy and scandal.
Posters on HF tend to be former banned users here. Too be banned here, you have to be pretty scandalous.
Here is a statement from Cecily's family posted on twitter today ($22,000 raised, by the way):

Imagine hearing these statements from a family in the midst of dealing with unimaginable sadness created by this vicious disease and thinking they're making it all up to make Kings fans look bad... it boggles the mind.

As far as the spitting, it is likely that the little girl wasn't meant to be the intended recipient of the spitting. Instead she was probably a sort of collateral damage. Two out of control idiots decided to fight in the stands. At least one starts spitting. Maybe they missed the intended target and hit the girl. Maybe the spit landed close enough to the girl that her parent felt like it was intended to hit her. This scenario is not at all hard to believe.
This is my thinking as well. The article doesn't really explain if it actually hit her and she was the intended target or if she was hit as a bystander. Not that in the grand scheme of things that it makes a difference it still is a disgusting occurrence.
I have been the victim of both types of scenarios. I have been directly spit on in the face (trust me it did not turn out well for the spitter) and while wrestling/fighting I have been a collateral damage victim (My partner "knocked the spit out of that dude")
As far as believing Kane's account of the events my first reaction was to doubt him because of his history #boywhocriedwolf . But after being confirmed by multiple sources I have no doubt about this incident.
I do agree that the Kings should go out of their way to make this right for the girl. She has much more important things to worry about than wearing an Oiler jersey to the opposing teams arena for a hockey game.
and now we're arguing about sentence structure. LGK!
