2011-2012 NHL Season

Actually, it's rare for a JLC crowd to show even that much decorum.

But this is a crowd that worships Dale Hunter, so take it for what it's worth.

 

Crowds there are nothing like the crowds at the old Ice House or The Barn in Windsor. But Simmonds would have visited the JLC many times during his OHL days and I don't recall him having any problems then.

 

I'd appreciate it if you didn't use rational, experience-based facts to mitigate my rather irrational hatred for that team and their clown of a coach.

 

Sorry, my brother. Proceed.

 

Could it also be that whoever threw it wanted him to slip on it? That's the comic troupe, right, slipping on a banana peel?

Throwing a whole banana would be a little more overt.

 

What league were the Caps in when they won the Eastern Conference the past two years? I recall Boston and Philly, respectively, repping the East in the last two Stanley Cup Finals.

Sorry, had to say it! What do you think Boudreau's leash is like? Hard to judge from the outside.

 

Come to think of it, I believe Kevin Weekes had a banana thrown at him in Montreal, too.

 

Wouldn't be the Flyers if they weren't showing how to be such fine and shining examples ...

But what happened to Wayne Simmonds is sad social commentary. One would think we've evolved, but obviously some of us missed that bus.

 

I'll believe it when I see it in the postseason. Hopefully Boudreau will teach how not to give an opponent a free goal on a bad line change in overtime of a playoff game.

 

Comcast guys indicated Avery might be waived after tonight's game and not even on the plane to Europe. If so, who takes him?

 

My man Avery says Wayne Simmonds called him a pile of sticks...
