So it's OK to cheap-shot a guy's head and potentially injure him for the year like Turris did, but saying "I am going to stand up and challenge you to a fight next time I see you" is forbidden?

This league is 86 types of fucked up.

It's not forbidden but you will get your ass sued if something bad happens. Which isn't really in the league's jurisdiction.

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Bertuzzi cheap-shotted and drove Moore's face into the ice. That was the problem. That wasn't a fight, that was assault. If the league can't figure out the difference, find someone who can tell them.

[Haunted]

They thought they had in Brendan Shanahan.

But there were quotes that you could argue premeditated it, as they are set to do this offseason in Canadian court. You really don't understand why the league doesn't want any premeditated attacks, or anything that can be misconstrued as such, on its hands?

But the league has for years not considered fighting an attack; it's a challenge.

Had Corvo said, "He better keep his head up because he's gonna get his if I get a chance," then yes, the league should be concerned. That would imply a dirty or illegal hit. Saying he's going to challenge him to a fight is different, to me.

[cshea]

The B's went to great lengths to avoid saying anything before the Cooke game. Thornton did the whole grilled cheese sandwhich thing instead of saying fight. It's just covering yourself on case something goes wrong.

Too bad, I was hoping for 5 minutes of Corvo free hockey tonight.

Did the league even say anything to him though?

To you, yes. To the courts, potentially not. Where's Myt1 when you need him?

[FL4WL3SS]

I really hope Zanon is ready for this game and Julien benches Corvo for his remarks. Then we all win.

[The Four Peters]

Usually on the shitter.

First day of a 3 day long Vendor Technical review. Bad news, boring as shit listening to the vendors pimp their shit. Good news, the vendor who gave me Bruins/Caps tix is taking me out for a steak and offered up their box at Verizon for Caps/Islanders tonight.

Everyman has his price. Mine is very, very low.

I could see myself being a happy man if I never have to deal with any kind of university office ever again, especially financial services. I arranged to have the amount of a loan that went over my needs to be returned to the lender. So they return it to the lender AND cut me a check for that amount, so my next statement says I owe the school that amount of dollars instead of no dollars.

On the other hand, the ladies that continually have to fix these problems seem to know what they are doing; I assume it's because they get a lot of practice from their shitty department.

Two and a half months and I'm done...then I can finally get my dream job at Hallmark.

[Blacken]

Hallmark doesn't hire people with degrees in useless.

They temp.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Does having two degrees in useless make me double-useless or just all-square?

[TheStoryofYourRedRightAnkle]

Useless squared.

Wockawockawocka.

I'm legitimately excited to see Rolston in a Bruins uniform again.

I at least got a semi.

[octoberaroma]

Has anyone got an internet stream link for the game?

[sachmoney]

Should be a couple here:

[The Napkin]

I was afraid Rene wasn't going to make it there for a minute. Couple interesting pauses for breath at the end.

[ypioca]

[SoxScout]

17 year difference in age between goalies

[Jed Zeppelin]

Light smattering of boos for Turris.

[TheShynessClinic]

Chara! Ye Gads!

[Jed Zeppelin]

It's scary how easily Chara can move a man with a shrug of his shoulder.

[The Napkin]

that was ... competent ... by Corvo

[AimingForYoko]

I love absolutely everything about ypioca's post.

[ypioca]

Jinx.

[Spaulding Smails]

Haha Leafs down 2-0 less than 3 min in.

[TheShynessClinic]

So Corvo is a chicken shit so far.

[SoxScout]

whoa...

[Jed Zeppelin]

Stop with the awful passes, jesus.

[The Napkin]

Wow. I'm not sure if I should bury or praise Timmy for that. I think I'm going to go with praise.

[TheShynessClinic]

So we have good Thomas tonight?

[JimBoSox9]

Holy shit Thimas

[SoxScout]

6 mins no shots

[NYCSox]

That looked offside and also possibly covering the puck in the crease.

[The Napkin]

yep. praise.

[Nomar813]

Good god, Thomas

[AimingForYoko]

Just go away Corvo. Go away.

[ajml]

Every time Corvo and Turris are on the ice together I get further infuriated that Corvo isn't sitting out the next 5 minutes

[The Napkin]

Hey Bruins - Tim Thomas would like to inform you that it is not a 7:30 start tonight. Thank you for your prompt assistance in this matter.

[JimBoSox9]

A highly standard right-to-left move there

[The Napkin]

It's a start. Now keep that up.

Bergeron is so fucking good.

[Dropkick Izzy]

Corvo leaning on his stick 8 mins in? Holy fuck, please die.

[Jed Zeppelin]

STOP ICING

[SoxScout]

This start is brutal

[TheShynessClinic]

NICE WAY TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION ASSHOLE.

I hate him already.

[Spaulding Smails]

Weak ass call.
