MARIO IS PISSED (UPDATED)
Mario Lemieux obviously didn’t think that NHL came down hard enough on the New York Islanders for their Friday night goonery.
************************************************************************
“Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be. But what happened Friday night on Long Island wasn’t hockey. It was a travesty. It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that.
“The NHL had a chance to send a clear and strong message that those kinds of actions are unacceptable and embarrassing to the sport. It failed.
“We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action.
“If the events relating to Friday night reflect the state of the league, I need to re-think whether I want to be a part of it.”
**************************************************************************
That’s a statement that ranks right up there with his “garage league” statement from many years ago. But one question has to be asked here. If the Penguins had done to the Islanders what the Islanders did to the Penguins and the punishment had been the same, would Lemieux have reacted the same way?
Sorry, but I don’t think so.
Incidents like the one Friday on Long Island still pop up in the NHL on rare occasions because prominent people like Lemieux only speak up when they are on the wrong end of them.
TIGER STILL STINKS
Ok, maybe Tiger Woods doesn’t stink compared to most of the golfers in the world, but he sure does stink compared to the pre-Thanksgiving Driveway Event Tiger.
He had a chance to win going into the final round of the Dubai Classic today and gagged.
Meanwhile, why is he in Dubai and not at Pebble Beach?

THE NEXT UNCLE TOM
All of those racist Republicans at the CPAC convention seemed to enjoy the keynote speaker, Allen West, who, you can be sure, will be ridiculed and called an Uncle Tom by a good portion of the black “leaders” in America.
CHUCK TANNER RIP
THE INEVITABLE DEATH OF MULTI-CULTURALISM
Multi-culturalism is dying a long overdue death.
Does Obama know? Is he smart enough to speed up the process?
