Hitting The Links: Fine, No Suspension Edition

We discovered yesterday that Adam McQuaid did not get suspended for his knee-on-knee with Nick Foligno, instead being fined $2,500 for his actions. If that doesn't fuel some sort of Bruins comspiracy rumors, I'll be incredibly disappointed.

Moving right along.

The Bruins have their 24/7 cameo on Saturday when they play against the Pronger-less Philadelphia Flyers. Chris Pronger has been benched for the season with post-concussion issues. All feelings aside, it really sucks to see a player of his caliber sidelined with issues like these -- just like it sucked to see Marc Savard and David Perron and even Sidney Crosby go through it. Here's hoping it's not career ending.

After the jump, the Canucks keep losing to crappy teams, Louis Leblanc got benched in Montreal for hilarious reasons, and the Bruins had a day off yesterday...
