I'm just happy that the game wasn't ruined with a shootout. Two weeks!

It's Bertuzzi and the NHL is trying to look like they are cracking down on head shots. He'll easily get more than that.

But but Todd's a good guy! He doesn't play dirty! He learned from his mistake!

Bobby Mac thinks it will be time served (i.e.; the penalties he received in the game). He also points out that Bert hasn't been called before the league since the Moore incident.

Not that I am defending him. Just an interesting point of view from someone who is usually pretty astute about these things.

McKenzie retweets a LeBrun tweet saying no league hearing scheduled, if so there would be no suspension.

So I have tickets to a Round 1 Bruins game. Loge seats. Well below retail value. :)

Another good win for Boston. Defense is scoring and Horton has gotten hot of late.

Shawn Thornton doesn't look happy.

And I love how you can hear him swear after he gets cut. Pretty funny.

You stay classy, Blackhawks. :rolleyes:

I don't know who Dwight Schrute is, so I don't know if you're being serious...but if you are, I worked as an off ice official 15 years ago for the Kentucky Thoroughblades (AHL) in their inaugural season (which was my last year of graduate school). I have some great stories from that year.

In case you are serious, the penalty box attendant does have responsibilities beyond the opening and closing of the door, and even that is a little more pressurized than you might think.

I don't know how one gets the job at NHL level; for me, I walked into Ron DiGregorio's office (the owner, also was the VP of USA Hockey at the time IIRC) and told him I was also from New Hampshire, loved hockey, and would love to work for the team. That was all it took...it's not like Lexington was a hockey hotbed before, during, or after the Thoroughblades got there.

Believe it or not, we did have two female off ice officials, and one did work the penalty box once (the assignments were rotated game by game). As for our dress code, we just had to wear slacks and a horrible plum colored sweater with a Thoroughblades patch. But, this wasn't exactly a well-oiled machine, given it was an expansion franchise. The goal judge sat on a stool, not in glass encased booth (cue up the Anchorman jokes) or anything, and was subjected to merciless heckling from the fans who were literally sitting right next to him.

Thank you. I am serious about it. After a 15+ year banking career, I grow weary of this business. I should look into it further, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm guessing it will be a paycut but far more enjoyable!

Anyone want to explain those standings to me?

They did the same thing to Brendan Morrison as he skated off the ice with an obvious knee injury a few weeks ago. I hate all the classy/classless arguments on this board, but what kind of individuals trash talk injured opponents? It's just very disappointing. Toews must be beside himself with these clowns.

Because everyone knows that the Flyers are overrated and they won't win the cup anyway. ;):D
