Bergevin pays for ripping referees (scroll down a little)
Tuesday November 26, @11:13AM
Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Marc Bergevin got his money's worth ($1,000 fine) when he blasted the officials' work in a recent Penguins- Islanders game, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on Tuesday.
"Write what you saw. It's a $%@# farce. This league's a joke. They change it for what, 10 games, 15 games? I honestly thought it was going to change. It was a rodeo out there. It was unbelievable. I'm not trying to take anything away from New York -- they played hard. They deserved to win. That's not what I'm trying to say. But it's a (expletive) joke. Did you guys see it? Did you watch the same game I did? Am I wrong?"

He said it, not me:
Hey, Adrian! Who does Rob Blake room with on the road now that Chris Drury is gone? How often do the guys switch roommates? Thanks!
-- Kaylee, Casper, Wyo.
At last check, Blake was rooming with Martin Skoula. That seems like an odd couple, but sometimes those are the best arrangements. How often do they change things up on a team? Not too much. Once people get comfortable with each other, they generally stay together for the full season. Adam Foote and Patrick Roy, for example, have been rooming together for years.

QMJHL: Suspensions handed out in Drakker, Mooseheads brawl
(posted Nov. 14, 7:20PM EST)
LONGUEUIL, Que. -- A brawl-filled game between the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and the Halifax Mooseheads produced its first suspensions from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday.
Baie-Comeau's Louis-Philippe Martin, who left the penalty box to join one of several multiplayer melees Wednesday night, was suspended for five games and coach Richard Martel was banned by the league for two games.
The Drakkar were also fined $1,000.
The suspensions and the fine were automatic because Martin left the bench to join the fighting in the Mooseheads' 9-2 win over the Drakkar, when 23 players were ejected and 485 penalty minutes were called.
A league spokesman said QMJHL disciplinarian Maurice Filion was reviewing videotape of the game and may issue further fines and suspensions later this week.
The low point of an already brawl-filled game came in the third period, when all 12 players on the ice were fighting.
After the game, Martel said his team “played with frustration, that's all.”
I wouldn't call it a "low point," myself... *g*

Yahoo! Sports: NHL - Bush calls Red Wings champions on and off the ice

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Calling them ``ruffians skating in the same direction,'' President Bush praised the Detroit Red Wings on Friday for their championship play and community service.
In an East Room ceremony filled with good-natured ribbing, Bush said athletes should follow the Red Wings' lead and be good examples for children who adore them.
``See, it's one thing to be the champion on the ice, it's another thing to be a champion living your lives,'' the president said.
Bush mentioned an NHL tradition in which members of the championship team each get a day to carry around the Stanley Cup. Team captain Steve Yzerman visited children in three hospitals with the trophy.
The team's owner, Mike Illitch, used the Stanley Cup to raise money for charity. Scotty Bowman, the Hall of Fame coach who retired after last year's championship, ``made a dream come true for a child with leukemia, who just simply wanted to touch the Stanley Cup,'' Bush said.
``You've proven yourself to be champs off the ice,'' the president said.
``You have a responsibility to set the right example and to use your position to help not only serve something greater than yourself, the team, but to serve a society and help heal the hurt and help people who need a little special care,'' Bush said.
The event was not all serious.
The president kidded Illitch, who also owns the struggling Detroit Tigers. Bush, former controlling owner of the Texas Rangers, said, ``This goes to prove it's easier to win in hockey than in baseball.''
The Red Wings beat the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup finals for their third title in six years.
Bush said Bowman is so popular in Michigan that he had a job in mind for the former coach -- but it already is held by Dick Cheney.
``If I hadn't already announced yesterday the vice president was going to be my running mate. ... I was thinking about you,'' Bush said.
Standing behind him, laughing, were the Red Wings -- including center Kris Draper, who was sporting a black eye after getting hit by a stick in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
``He gets these ruffians skating in the same direction,'' Bush said of Bowman.
Bowman congratulated Bush for, hours earlier, securing a 15-0 vote at the United Nations Security Council for action against Iraq.
``We had to win 16 games'' in the playoffs to earn the Stanley Cup, Bowman said. ``We know how hard that is.''
Bush commented on the Wings' international flavor, with players from Russia, Canada, the United States and the Czech Republic. ``It looks like the United Nations,'' he said.
Following the ceremony, Darren McCarty said he and his teammates were impressed with Bush's low-key style.
``The thing that makes him so endearing is he seems so natural,'' McCarty said. ``It was neat how he left, just saying, `OK, got to go.' How cool is that?''

AWFUL AT HOME: The Colorado Avalanche aren't happy with their 4-2-4-2 start and even more angry with their 0-3-2 record at home.
“The key to success in this league is winning at hoe,” said Avs star centre Peter Forsberg. “We're just not playing good enough at home. We have to pick it up. It's a good thing we have four more games (in a row) at home.”
We? WE? WE?!?
How about "I", Mr. Fuckberg? Cause not only has Mighty Joe stepped up to the plate with at least one and usually two goals in the past, oh, FIVE games, so has the defence. Adam has THREE goals already this year! Rob Blake just scored his first! Hejduk's up to 9 pts.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself, and you might want to considering offering yourself to Calgary in return for Chris Drury.
