Rant Time:
Brian Burke hits the nail on the head during his interview yesterday about the state of the game. Players don't have to be accountable for their actions. I've never seen so many checking from behind and heads shots since I started watching hockey and I watched the Leafs carry the cup so you know how long that has been. Brendan Shanahans office has been busier than a Bens Friday night. I... wonder how much of a deterrent a fine and a few weeks off in the middle of a grueling season can be to a man making millions. For all you people that think fighting is ruining the game look at some footage of a Bruin- Flyer game in the 70s. If the players were allowed to police their own game Sidney Crosby might still be playing. Whos office would you rather be in. Shanahans or Colton Orr, or Milan Lucic.
