I agree 1000% with this post. My only concern is that having a head of the NHLPA that knows what he is doing may lead to another lockout.. But it could just be paranoia.

I hope he does run off to Russia because of this mess...

I'm lucky -- she's become a huge wings fan over the years as our relationship (and now marriage) has grown.. She graduated on the day the wings beat colorado in game 7.. so i sadly missed that awesomeness - but she's made up for it.. buys me tickets to a game around my birthday each year, we go to the joe atleast 5 times per season, since we are only 2 hours away. watches every live game w/ me and sometimes will deal with the NHL network. She's slowly learned the ways of buttman and cindy crosby.

I remember practicing that move for months after seeing Mac do that against Philly

NHL 11 demo comes out tomorrow, thank the lord..

If you must ask.. Yes.

Bingo.. That's what I think is going on.. Though I'm not sure if I like it

Must you even ask?

http://www.usahockey.com/uploadedFiles/USAHockey/Menu_Officials/Menu_RulesEquipment/USAH%20Rulebook%200911_WEB.pdf Rule 613 Fisticuffs (Fighting) (a) A major plus a game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on any player who engages in fisticuffs. An additional minor penalty shall be imposed on any player who starts or instigates fisticuffs. (b) A minor penalty shall be imposed on a player who, having been struck, shall retaliate with a blow or attempted blow. However, at the discretion of the Referee a double minor or a major penalty may be imposed if such player continues the altercation. (Note 1) The Referee is provided very wide latitude in the penalties that he may impose under this rule. This is done intentionally to enable him to differentiate between the obvious degrees of responsibility of the participants either for starting the fighting or persisting in continuing the fighting. The discretion provided shall be exercised realistically. (Note 2) Referees are directed to employ every means provided by these rules to stop “brawling” and should use Rule 601(e.2) “Abuse of Officials and Other Misconduct” for this purpose. © A major penalty shall be imposed on any player involved in fisticuffs off the playing surface or with another player who is off the playing surface before, during or after the game. (d) A game misconduct penalty shall be imposed on any player or goalkeeper who is the first to intervene in an altercation then in progress. This penalty is in addition to any other penalty incurred in the same incident. (e) When an altercation occurs on the ice, at the signal of the Referee, all players (non-participant), excluding goalkeepers, must proceed immediately and directly to their respective players’ bench. Goalkeepers must remain in the immediate vicinity of their goal crease. See Rule 407(d) (Goalkeeper’s Penalties). A minor penalty shall be assessed to any player, excluding goalkeepers, who fails to move to the players’ bench when so instructed by the Referee. 70 USA Hockey PLAYING RULES Playing Rules A minor penalty shall be imposed on any player, including a goalkeeper, who removes his glove or gloves and/or drops his stick during an altercation and who is not a participant in the original altercation. A game misconduct penalty may be added to the minor penalty if, in the judgment of the Referee, the player is the instigator of a subsequent altercation. This penalty shall be in addition to any other penalty incurred in the same incident. (f) A game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who removes his (or opponent’s) helmet/facemask prior to, or during an altercation (excluding Adult Male Classifications).

Got to see plenty of Zubov (few seasons that I went to every home game) with the K-Wings before he went to Dallas.

I'm close to the Ciccarelli family and they are ecstatic that Dino is finally getting the recognition he deserves!
