. . . sending an inferior player on the ice . . . specifically to injure an opposing team's star player. . . .

Hey, that sort of thing has been going on in the NHL for decades--at least to harrass the star player, if not injure him.

I remember being at the old Chicago Stadium back in the '60s when the Golden Jet, Bobby Hull, finally had had enough of Detroit's Bugsy Watson shadowing him and playing dirty with him. Hull just laid into him! Besides being the most talented player in the league, Hull was also one of the strongest. (I saw Hull shatter the glass one time with his slap shot.)

Thanks! They've done some work on the Trans-Canada Highway through Banff National Park in the last few years. They've twinned the roadway as far west as Lake Louise, and they built several animal overpasses to allow elk, wolves, etc. to migrate from one side to the other without crossing the road.

I highly recommend a trip up there -- and don't forget to visit Jasper National Park and the two British Columbia parks (Yoho and Kootenay) as well!

I completly agree!

You draw a parrallel with the Last Boy Scout, and I can't really come back against it. The dude broke an opponent's neck with an intentional action.

I love the ice justice of Hockey but it's hard to defend it when you knock a guy out and drive his head into the ice.

I support a year long ban for Bertuzzi at the min., if not the Lifetime.
