Forget everything I said yesterday!
Holy Crap.
I can't think of a time where I've felt like a bigger jackass. Not 24 hours after exclaiming that the NHL, free from scandal, had an opportunity available to them, to rise above the other professional sports leagues whose credibility is in freefall. So what do the NHL players do? Add more fuel to the fire.
Carolina Hurricanes forward Eric Staal, and his brother Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jordan Staal enjoyed themselves a little too much at a bachelor party. The brothers and more than a dozen others were arrested for disorderly conduct following the celebration of Eric Staal's upcoming August marriage.
Sigh.
Your friend on ice,
Captain Bosh

Well, in NHL standards this is an outrage. Keep in mind that saying "We're going to beat them" on TV is about equivalent to TO calling another team a bunch of panzy bitches.
Anyways, let's look at scale here.
NBA--Point Shaving officials. I mean, if the REF is cheating, who the hell CAN you trust?!
NFL--dog fighting...probably a lot of cock fighting, too.
NHL--College aged guys acting like college age guys.
Man, gotta give the NHL credit--it sure knows how to create a scandal.

Have you guys checked out what's going on with the Tour De France? Both leaders have been kicked out of the race for blood doping.... I bet everyone over there is thankful that no one watches their sport.

Yeah, but isn't the Tour De France broadcast in the US on the very same channel that broadcasts the NHL???
Sigh...
Anyway, gentlemen we have mug shots!
