For those who dont know, Kerry Fraser writes for TSN a lot these days. Usually answering questions relating to officiating. Anyway, he responded to a question about Tim Thomas and his leaving the crease constantly. Mainly it related to goalie interference. Good article. Anyway, Fraser usually tells a story from his career relating to the question:

As a kid, I had the butt end of my goalie stick taped like Smitty did with a good ince of shaft above the tape knob. I had no idea why Smitty was doing it until I saw the bit with Ruff. It was definitely a cheap shot, but I always hated Ruff and still do. Smitty shouldn't have done it, but if you are going to do something dirty, do it to the guys you don't like lol. I'd love to see what he'd do to today's punks like Avery and Clusterf*ck and that idiot on Pitt Matt Cooke. |
I miss these and want more of them ![]()
