Kostopoulos is a team guy, and he is great. he said himself today that he deserved the suspension for causing injuries.

I agree with you on the protection thing. they think they go in the rink like if they are invincible, thinking they can get head first in the traffic. as we always say, they gotta keep their heads up.

the NHL looks like it is trying to do something, but it does today, and it wont do tomorrow, and so on.

but the game is still awesome nonetheless!

thanks, I appreciate.

btw, Tom Kostopoulos got suspended for three games. although I can assure u he is not a dirty player, it is a great decision from the league. he has been suspended for attempt to injure, and as judged on Van Rynn's injuries, the verdict sounds about right to me.

i hope ur player will be okay,

miah :)
ps: who are u voting for, to the all star games?

Mark, I became a fan because of your comments on the article "Bryan McCabe Deal: Digging Deeper." from your picture I see you're adorned in Leafs paraphilnilia and yet your comments are not that of a Leaf cynic but a fan that realizes his team is not holding up their end of the bargain.

Kudos to you for being one of the few realistic Leaf fans I have ever met.
