Wow - that is funny that they took the site down - must have struck a chord with someone - this could become a big story!

 

It was back up at some point this afternoon.

The original site Chz linked to is still down as of 2 minutes ago. The second site she linked to (a page on the NBC Sports site) was not and is not down.

Keep trying that original site. It was down this morning, and at some point a couple of hours ago, it was up again. It loaded slowly when it was up, so maybe the guy didn't gird his site for so much incoming traffic. The original site is worth a read; there are some interesting comments on it, too. I hope you're able to get through at some point.

I read it earlier. Which is why it doesn't surprise me that it has been taken down. People in high places can't be very thrilled with that post and the info it contains.

Just an FYI for the night owls, Versus debuts it's new nightly show tonight at 11pm... NHL Overtime.

The show will include in-studio guests as well as live post-game player interviews from around the NHL.

French media reporting Andrei Markov is out 4-6 months with a torn ACL... his second time he's tore it.

 

That's huge. He's their best player.

 

I think they were something like 7-20 without him last year.

As of right now, it is down, but so is the entire domain. I really think it's a too many people issue. If it were the NHL, wouldn't the league also have made a phone call to one of its broadcast partners (NBC) to have that squelched, also?

Also, now, TSN is running with it. The NHL isn't squelching it anymore, if it was before: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=341367

He's been made of glass that last couple seasons. It seems like the only news that ever comes out of Montreal is a Markov injury.

I'm pretty sure Bettman is to busy giving him a handjo to fill out the paperwork.

I'm confused. Am I supposed to be mad at Campbell for firing a ref that gave his kid a bad call or should I be mad that it's now proven that refs bring their personal feelings to the ice and call games accordingly? OR, should I be mad that they manipulate games by which ref they send to do games because they know refs bring their personal feelings to the ice and call games accordingly?

Great post and synopsis of what the story was all about.

 

Really sad though because it underscores what a lot of people here have been saying for awhile about how Mickey mouse this league is run with all the calls vs. non-calls, superstar preferential treatment, whose turn is it to get a break/penalty things we see game in and game out.

I'm not so sure they actually sent the specific ref to call a Savard game right away, but just the fact that they know about the questionable tendencies of certain refs is more than enough for me. But really, is anyone surprised by this? Short of putting robots out there, this kind of stuff cannot be avoided.

The way the NHL reacted to this is typical. They don't really care.

 

Other leagues, like the NFL, would be all over this and you'd see punishment. The NHL, until it cleans up it's front office, will always be Mickey Mouse.

Serious question.....is horses##t a Canadian thing? The only people I ever hear using horse over bull are hockey guys.

I think it's more of a hick thing as opposed to a city thing. That said, since all Canadians are hicks,.. yes, it's a Canadian thing.

 

Being from Buffalo, I consider myself half Canadian and half Polish (and a hick). So I, too, use horse$#!#.

Watching Flyers and Canadians. I've thought that Sekera should play like Timonen

but watching him play with Pronger the pair look like Sekera and Myers. Timonen and Sekera are a lot alike, IMO, not as much Pronger and Myers

Not sure about the comparison but i do like Sekera's game a lot and i think he gets better by the game. However, this Habs/Flyers game is very exciting.
