Everybody was all horny in the NHL last week when a player… a supposed star play was blind sided by Matt Cooke. I have been calling head shots dirty hits for years. Now, I am going to show you a video of a clean hockey hit that if it had happened two weeks earlier, would not have been called because no one was making a stink about it.

In this video, you will see a pansy named Milan Lucic perform a drop pass. He then admires his pass and Andei Kostitsyn lowers the shoulder on him. Kostitsyn makes a shoulder on shoulder hit and was made within a half a second from Lucic releasing the puck. The refs gave him a interference penalty.

Now, from two weeks earlier, we see Matt Cooke absoulutley cream Andre Savard from the Bruins from the blind side. No penalty, no suspension.

Anyhow, the dumb CBC guys were calling Kostitsyn’s hit a dirty hit. Reason #1 of why I don’t watch hockey on the English speaking CBC. They rarely get the players names on the Habs correct. Same gets applied to the Sens as well. Unless it’s the last place Leafs, they don’t care about any other Canadian team. The Bruins are playing and the commentators sound like a home team announcers for the Bruins. Fucking jokers lead by Don Cherry! I watch all the Hab games in French even if I don’t speak a word of French.

I love this part –
Peragallo, 64, testified at his trial that he did drink beer and vodka, but not until after he had groomed the ice. However, he told police he had a shot of Sambuca with his breakfast coffee and two Valium-pills before work.

I was only a little drunk and drugged up your honor. I thought of getting high too, but I wasn’t in the mood that day.

I wonder if he drove to work? The article doesn’t mention.

Zamboni driver skates by drunken driving law – CNN.com
NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) — It’s not drunken driving in New Jersey if it involves a Zamboni.

A judge ruled the four-ton ice rink-grooming machines aren’t motor vehicles because they aren’t useable on highways and can’t carry passengers.

Zamboni operator John Peragallo had been charged with drunken driving in 2005 after a fellow employee at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, New Jersey, told police the machine was speeding and nearly crashed into the boards.

Police said Peragallo’s blood alcohol level was 0.12 percent. A level of 0.08 is considered legally drunk in New Jersey.

Peragallo appealed, and Superior Court Judge Joseph Falcone on Monday overturned his license revocation and penalties.

“It’s a vindication for my client,” Peragallo attorney James Porfido said after the hearing. “It’s the right decision.”

Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Joseph D’Onofrio said no decision had been made on whether to appeal.

Peragallo, 64, testified at his trial that he did drink beer and vodka, but not until after he had groomed the ice. However, he told police he had a shot of Sambuca with his breakfast coffee and two Valium-pills before work.

I remember a coach told me that he was going to walk up to the Moncton Zoo and ask if he could borrow a baboon so that he could play net for the second half. I think I continued to play shitty in the second half. I remember another time our coach sat us down after a game and pointed to each individual and told them straight up “you suck!” I actually didn’t suck that day and I was one of two players that he said played well.

Coaches are funny.

WHL suspends Constantine for four games

Everett Silvertips coach Kevin Constantine has been fined US$5,000 and suspended four games by the Western Hockey League for excessively punishing his players after a loss.

The Silvertips were beaten 5-0 by Tri-City during a pre-season tournament Sunday and Constantine had the players remain in their gear for a post-game meal and the four-hour bus ride back to Everett.

This is funny. He can’t do the games any more at all. The CBC and Hockey Night in Canada are a joke.

If Gainey was a poker player, he would be the best poker player in the world. He has little emotion and give away very little detail about his team. So, here is the million dollar question; who does he start in goal for the play-offs?

Whoooo-hoooo! Just listening to the online broadcast of the Atlanta/Washington game and the Capitols win; eliminating Atlanta in the process.

Next up… either Ottawa or Carolina for the Habs in the first round of the play-offs. I kinda want the Habs to play Ottawa first. The Habs don’t do very well against teams in the South East Division.

I guess I will watch the play-offs after all.

Oh, and to all my Leaf friends…

Here is a picture for you.
