Sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. Between celebrating in the greatest Halloween city in the World and taking advantage of the free fire water at Connecticut Indian casinos, I didn't have much time to chime in on the cowardly play of Steve Ott and the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. Fortunately everyone else who has ever written about hockey has chimed in on the situation.

@Jumbotron

OK, I'll let it slide this time. Good post though.

The repeated references to Savard as Harvard was a joke. Do you really think I would get "Hnidy" right and not Marc Savard? Gees, people do you have no imagination at all? Wait, of course you do. You thought Steve Ott's hits were going for the knees. The knees! Now that is hilarious. As far as Steve being a coward. If your players didn't whine and want to fight everytime they got hit, it'd be different. I didn't see any penalties called on Ott's hits. Did you? Why don't you get your facts straight before you go linking to my blog. For the record my beef is with Avery and his influence on the team. And the price our other players will have to pay when he hurts some "girls" feelings. Give me a break and don't come whining to this suburban mom or I'll really give you something to whine about.

Just because it wasn't called a penalty doesn't mean it wasn't a dirty hit. If you don't think that the hit on Yelle was dirty, than you know nothing about hockey... which I suspect is the case.

Nice comeback, but then I figured as much. At least you didn't use that tired one about me being a girl so I can't know anything about hockey. Now if you could kindly remove the link to my blog, I would appreciate it. Since I obviously don't know anything about hockey, why would you want to link to it anyway.
