What the hell was that.....

abomination of an NHL referred game, how can the league allow bush league phantom calls like those in the third period of the Flames - Nucks game tonight? It's one thing to have a crackdown, which I support, it's another to be incompetent and cost teams like the Oilers and Flames like they did tonight by gifting the Canucks two undeserved points....

Why all the uproar...

over Vancouver fans booing Team USA during the recent World Junior hockey tournament? These are the same fans who first made a name for themselves booing Team Canada during the Summit Series in 1972, the same fans who gave Todd Bertuzzi multiple standing ovations while calling Steve Moore a coward, and yet the can't see the irony when they mercilessly boo Jack Johnson for an alleged elbow on Steve Downie.
