Hits to the head, giving head...to a nimrod like Campbell it must appear be the same. |

I just read Chris Botta's entry at Fanhouse. IMO, dead on the money in his criticism of Campbell. http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2010/10/12/despite...too-far-in-sus/

EXACTLY !!! There is a precedent...one game for an inappropriate gesture. Where is the justification for the extra game? Because it was "sexual" in nature? Because it was more "embarrassing to the league? Hell, I don't see how any misconduct directed at Avery can be considered inappropriate or suspend-able. He's the biggest embarrassment the league has ever seen !!!! I like Mad Mike's take on this as well:

Actually....why isn't the league talking to Avery about his comments to those reporters? When he mocked the league for sending him to rehab???? |

2 games is one too many. Look, it was wrong to do. Funny, but wrong. Does anybody think for a minute that Avery wasn't talking trash the whole time and maybe Wizzer just had enough of it. My preference in those situations is to line a scumbag like Avery up and bury him the next time he touches the puck. Anyway, this will hurt since we play two of the best offensive players in the world the next two games without him. Brutal Gervais anyone? Hope its Hillen. |

I agree, but I think they'll insert Bruno because of the righty stick. Hillen looked awful in camp and guess he's on the outside looking in since the org wants to prove the Jurcina signing was a good one by playing him. |

Jurcina has impressed me the least so far of all the new acquisitions. |

According to Strang's Twitter Hillen will get the start tonight, hopefully Jack plays well cause I'd like to see him back in the lineup. |

"clearly it's Rick DiPietro's stupidity that's put the islanders in this situation getting into an altercation when a game was over..." Keith Jones on VS "But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann 查理斯 · 請死你混蛋 | |

Bottom line, any way you cut it, it was a stupid thing for Wisniewski to do, especially being as shorthanded as we are. He fell hook, line, and sinker for Avery's baiting and cost us dearly. I can see us getting smoked the next two games now that we are missing our top two O and D men. |

If I was Wisniewski I would have gone with the "Bruno defense" -- my explanation would have been: "I know it looks like I was suggesting some profane gesture to Sean, but really, I was just asking him if he's seen the movie "Bruno" -- he wasn't sure, so I reminded him about the scene where gay Austrian fashion reporter) "Bruno", you know, channels the spirit of Milli and has simulated oral sex with him? I only used that scene because I know Sean is very into fashion and writing, and I thought it would have been particularly memorable for him -- you know, to remind him of the movie that I was asking him about.... Looking back, I can see how it would look like I was actually suggesting a profane act directly to Sean, but this was just a little after the whistle movie chat. Honest." Can the NHL add two more games for implausibility? (One for the story, and one for putting "Bruno" and "defense" in the same explanation.) |
