  1. We're still short 4 people's money so you may be able to get in still. I'm setting NOON eastern time tomorrow for the deadline for whoever hasn't paid to get their money in. At that point, I'll open up anything that isn't sold and resell it to a paying player, that should leave us plenty of time to get the cards sold, since hu doesn't start til like 1am eastern.

  2. Here's my list of paid entrants.

  3. Just checked my transfer history and it looks like I'm still short about 5 people's money. I'll post a list later tonight, but if you haven't send money yet, please post here and do what you can to get this thing done.No payment will be sent to anyone that hasn't paid - the money will be split among the other winners if required.

  4. I read a quote somewhere (I wish I saved it now...it may have been in the Toronto Star though but I'm not sure - I'll try and find it though) that mentioned a recent game in which Liambis injured two members of the Guelph Storm in a game not long ago. Sounds like this may have been the final straw in getting rid of an overage goon who was going nowhere.

  5. Serious question though, would Branch be nearly as effective (or harsh for that matter) if there was such a thing as an OHLPA?also, lol @ this from the charging definition "an automatic fine of one hundred dollars ($100)." WTF how is this a deterrant? That's equivalent to fining me a quarter.

  6. textbook charging http://www.nhl.com/rules/rule47.html

    Charging shall mean the actions of a player who, as a result of distance traveled, shall violently check an opponent in any manner. A "Charge" may be the result of a check into the boards, into the goal frame or in open ice.A minor or major penalty shall be imposed on a player who skates or jumps into, or charges an opponent in any manner. When a major penalty is imposed under this Rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed, and an automatic fine of one hundred dollars ($100). A minor, major or a major and a game misconduct shall be imposed on a player who charges a goalkeeper while the goalkeeper is within his goal crease.
    Similar to when we discussed boarding a couple days ago in the random hockey thread, the ambiguity is intentional here, to give the referees a lot of wiggle room to interpret what a reasonable "distance travelled" to check a player is.Granted these are NHL rules and the play was from the OHL, but given the above definition, 5+gm misconduct for charging I think would have been a better call, and maybe 5-10 games given that they specifically mention injury to face or head right in the rule (which I didn't know actually...)
  7. I watched it a few times and I don't quite understand how the "hit" was worth a full season suspension. I would say the broken orbital bone and head fractures is what made them go a little overboard. He didn't leave his feet, didn't get the elbows up, etc. He was coming the whole way and it looks like the kid looked and saw him coming and tried to turn away from the hit.
    fwiw this was the consensus of the 3 refs I worked with this weekend as well. You could for sure see a case for calling charging (he ran him from easily the top of the faceoff circle) or boarding - no issue with a penalty there, but a full season suspension?? Not a chance.
  8. I haven't heard anything about this hit, how bad was he injured?
    Did you read the article I linked??
    Fanelli's helmet flew off and he fell unconscious to the ice before he was taken to a local hospital in an ambulance. He was later airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital with skull and facial fractures.Fanelli's condition has been upgraded from critical to serious, but stable.
  9. Though I'm sure it's been discussed in one of the random hockey threads here, I hadn't seen it anywhere and I know this hit generated a lot of discussion in the refs room this past weekend while I was doing some games so I thought I'd see what you guys thought.If anyone hasn't seen the hit, it's HERE . HERE is the newspaper article about the suspension.Today the OHL announced they've suspended Mike Liambas for the rest of the season. Is this just a case of him being dealt with so harshly because of the severity of the injury to the player?If Fanelli had his helmet on properly (ie chinstrap not hanging way down below his neck like every player seems to) and had shaken off the check and come back to play the next game, would there have been any suspension at all?Would there even have been the major penalty?

  10. Awesome guys and gals - next card that sells = sellout.Anyone who hasn't sent your money or needs FTP to Stars transfer - Please send me a pm or post here. Sometime either tonight or tomorrow I'll go through all the money received and try to match up the list.

  11. I'm hoping it will be coherent and he won't contradict himself.

I will however commiserate with fellow serge haters when they feel like fighting with you.oh, and wasn't it you trolling my pool thread yesterday?
  12. Serge, you have just been handed a job with the Toronto Star. Your first assignment is to write an editorial on the 2009-10 Toronto Maple Leafs. You can use any angle you like and there is no specific length requirement. Your deadline is Friday, November 6th, 2009 at 9:00pm. Go!
    ...and how exactly is this any different from what he does on here 637 times daily?
