			Was there ever an explanation for why Bouchard's high-sticking penalty wasn't a double minor?  I thought it was pretty black and white.  Either the player bleeds or they don't.  Do the refs actually have discretion on that?

			They actually gave McDavid the ConnSmythe?? I was watching at a golf tournament with no sound so I wondered why they showed his parents filming.  So now his dad just has a video of him getting awarded the Conn Smythe and not skating out? WTF hahah

To be fair, it's only second nature to sling trash at a dumpster.

As a father, I felt really bad for McDavid Sr. 
 
Also, somehow he looks younger than his son.

			Gazdic says McBaby grew up so much. He is almost 30 years old ffs!  He gave a big fu to the fans that spent so much to go to Florida. That's poor sportsmanship. Zero respect.

I remember reading that they destroy it all (of course the odd piece gets out). I also remember reading some guys on here that had some '04 Flames stuff and saw some pics of hats.
