So for flipping the bird at the Bell Centre crowd, then having it broadcast across most of North America, Andrew Ference was fined $2500 for his actions.

Is Pekka Rinne playing his way into Vezina Trophy consideration?
Ryan Miller. Roberto Luongo. Tim Thomas. Pekka Rinne? It's not as absurd as it sounds. Though he's missed some time due to injury, the Predators' number one goaltender is currently playing at an elite level, putting up some jaw-dropping statistics that are second in the league to only the...
