I think they all might be right...

Some people are simply, well, idiots.

I think you took the comment out of context.

My point was more about calling foul on Malkin when the B's have several questionable players of their own.

I don't condone the antics of Matt Cooke (and to his credit he's toned it down considerably), but rather, was calling attention to the fact that IMO, the B's have several players such as McQuaid, Campbell, Chara and Marchand who play a similar style with hits that "should be out of the league."

That said, the Penguins were aggressive, moved the puck well and were all over the B's in a game where I'd suspect Boston would carry the play with their more physical style. The Penguins took their game to Boston rather than being intimidated.

I know you love the Bruins, Goon, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for them. It's a team of questionable players, a team of Matt Cooke's. I loved how Pittsburgh took the game to them yesterday. If they get Crosby back (and he's right), I don't know how anyone will beat them.

And, two of Miami, Michigan, Michigan State and Notre Dame will not be going to the Joe for the CCHA championship weekend.

In their defense...they did defeat Michigan in Ann Arbor. However, it did come while the Wolverines were struggling. That said, a win at Yost is a win at Yost.

There were several teams looking at that Northern Michigan loss last night knowing a spot has been opened for bubble teams. That was a crushing defeat for the Wildcats. Next year...

Well, that's certainly true, too. LOL

Laughable. Especially this...
"The schools that formed the NCHC felt they could not be considered elite if they were playing what they may have perceived as lesser schools (the institutions that they broke away from in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association). So, gripped by an unattractive blend of envy (for the future status of the Big Ten) and arrogance (believing they are somehow above schools like Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University, Minnesota State University and others), the schools that formed the NCHC broke off from those two packs."

Um, the schools that formed the NCHC are generally Division I, generally have excellent academic reputations and are, well, generally above the leftovers in the WCHA and CCHA. No disrespect, but hockey is no different than other sports. Have's and have not's.

"...this is not some kind of merger.”

Could McLeod sound anymore like a jerk? I think you're right. It would behoove the league to start fresh.
