Dane Byers has been suspended and John Tortorella fined coming out of Byers' fight late in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Canucks on Tuesday. The penalties are automatic - per NHL rules, when a player receives an instigator penalty in the last five minutes of regulation or at any time in OT, it's a one-game ban for the player and $10,000 out of the coach's pocket. So with Byers out for tomorrow's game...
from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province, Shane O’Brien has received a one-game suspension for sticking it to Sean Avery on Tuesday at GM Place. The Vancouver Canucks defenceman, who had been benched after taking a double-minor penalty late in the second period, stormed the length of the players’ bench early in the third period to challenge the agitating Avery and stuck his stick into the...
(the phrase, “have another doughnut, you fat pig”, is of course, trademarked by Jim Schoenfeld) Did NHLPA interim executive director Ian Penny jump or was he pushed? Who gives a fuck when we’ve got another sensational item involving hockey pariah Sean Avery? The fashionista / loose cannon’s former AHL coach, current Capitals boss Lou [...]

You hear me, Steve Ott ? You're dead. Blues News: AP recap As for Ott's hit on Carlo, our man Colaiacovo calls it dirty. Read on in the P-D recap. And while we're at it, how 'bout a big GT round of applesauce for Alex Pietrangelo recording his first goal last night ?! Defending Big D has the good sense to at least call SOME of Ott's action's into question. I thought this team got rid of Sean Avery...

The following is written by David Kamoe, a life-long sports fan whose sister is a close friend. David is an avid A's fan, wen to to high school with Drew Gooden and can't believe that Giants commentator Mike Krukow used to refer to the right-centerfield expanse at Pac Bell Park as "Finley Alley," referring to Steve Finley who remarkably wore a Giants uniform for a season.

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, Let’s face it. If Vesa Toskala continues this sub-par play much longer, maybe he’ll soon be hearing those same jeers from the Marlies fans at Ricoh Coliseum, where many frustrated observers feel he belongs. In any event, if Toskala and his teammates feel their moribund offence, struggling defence and leaky netminding will suddenly turn around tonight...

While Canadiens coach Jacques Martin was audibly cursing on the bench last night, he must have been silently wondering if injured, star blueliner Andrei Markov could have made any difference in Vancouver's 7-1 drubbing of Montreal. In another Province, Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson found a blessing in disguise. He no longer has to practice his "I don't make goaltending decisions to please the...
