Wish he had one of his melt downs in the gold medal game, but we were not so lucky.


On thursday I had the pleasure of taking my son to the Sharks Habs game. I have to say without question the Price played a great game and had the posts on his side as there were at least 3 clankers. One was from a penalty shot awarded when Hal Gill(yeah that one) threw Prices goalie stick at a boyle who was breaking in. That said the Habs players were the biggest bunch of complainers I have seen all season. Every stopage every penalty wah wah wah. The refs did not keep a handle on them or the game as the game progressed the game got very dirty.

They missed/ didnt call a ton of calls as the game progressed getting worse and worse. As a result early in the 3rd period a late hit by Lapierre on Nichol which resulted in a four game suspension. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=520323 That was one of the worse officiated games I have seen in a long time. The refs seemed extremely intimdated by the Habs players and really let them affect the officiating. They openly argued with the refs for extended periods.

Those on the east coast who see the Habs more, is this common place as to them crying constantly and arguing every call?

Spoke to Nichol today at our kids game. He said he will be able to keep playing, though the injury will be with him till the end of the season. Mans game.

Ain't that the truth.... I wouldn't expect anything less from Nichol.
