Because Joel Quenneville has never had a tantrum on the sidelines ever...

Give me a break. Shit happens. He hit a pane of glass he probably expected to be like every other pane around the rink and he knocked it over. The reason he did it was the Ducks are classless. But all the focus is on him? Weak sauce.

I'm shocked that in the hockey world, where hot heads are a dime a dozen that anyone gives a shit.

Mo, if it wasn't a big deal why was he fined 10k? Obviously he ****** up to deserve the fine, right?

Quenneville has been fined at least four times in four years for 10 large...so, after I learned that...meh.

Makes your little tirade seem even dumber.

honestly Mo, I dont give a shit... it doesn't mean I dont think it's bush league though. I'm just saying that if it becomes a habit, he won't be around very long. Guys like that get tossed pretty quick. Cherry, Schonfeld, and Nolan all had short stays as coach.

What the Ducks did was even more "bush league" so, meh...

I will say this, the Ducks are going to be horrible this season. Their new coach is horrible.

I agree he doesn't (and certainly won't) do that every game, but I had no issue with what he did...and certainly not disagreeing with ya, Weaz...

The Ducks overall are crybaby's and have no room to call anyone else classless before they check their own shit first...Boudreau is a well known whiner and loud mouth (I think I posted that earlier)...the Duck-fags STARTED the trash talk to begin with...and if anyone needs to get a 'bush-league' label it was Lovejoy and his knee-knee on the kid (Mack)...

...I think that was totally calculated by Roy - for reasons that I'm okay with.

JMO though...

I understand that. That's a great start for the AV's.

I'm just saying the anger and hostility your coach displayed in Game 1 needs to be controlled right now. Because it won't play in the NHL long term.

And by long-term I mean one month.

And yet you still don't comprehend the concept of action and reaction or cause and effect.

No one said anything about "old school". Patrick Roy is Patrick Roy. If BB did that I'd just laugh. He's already a cocky ****** as it is. I'd be shocked though because he's about as bland of a person as there is.

He absolutely deserves a fine. No one is debating that. But it's a small fine. Ten grand is a slap on the wrist. If that partition doesn't fall over, Patty doesn't get fined...I guarantee it.

Say "bush league" again because I don't think you've said it enough.

I didn't say I didn't follow hockey. I said I didn't follow it as closely as I did 10 years ago. As far as SR goes, you're wrong.

I was just bugging him for the "bush league" comment

At the time no one knew how hurt Mac was. For the record Patty knew this:

Curtis Glencross season was ended prematurely by a knee injury after Anaheim's Ben Lovejoy stuck his leg out to cause a knee-on-knee collision. The injury forced Glencross out of the team's final four games of the season. from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Glencross

Patty did not do what he did because Perry was smarting off being a brat. It's because of the cheap shot with no penalty that was done to the 18 year old that on the ice for real for the very first time.

For the record I am a major hockey fan, with the Avs being in my blood. I don't post that much because of my busy schedule. The Broncos are 1A in my heart and the Avs 1B. Didn't grow up with it, but after seeing my first game I was in it hook, line and sinker....plus I've had the honor to get to know a few of the boys and they totally sealed the deal for me.....
