((HT: CBC/NHL via Josh Rimer))

It has been a long couple of days for John Tortorella and the Vancouver Canucks...

But "Hockey Day In Canada" wrapped with a first period line dance among heavyweights...

The amount of figuring out the do-se-do gets a little long, but the desired effect was a real piece of work...


And the HQ loves how Bob 'artley didn't engage Torts at all...

132 minutes in penalties were doled out by the time they were done...
And here's a longer version...


There were 178 penalty minutes total in the first...

And, in the intermission, Torts charged the tunnel and still wanted a piece of the Flames...

Indiana Head Coach Tom Crean Confronts Former IU Assistant: "You Helped To Wreck This Program."

IU Head Coach Tom Crean Confronts Mich. Asst Coach Jeff Meyer

Moments after Indiana clinched it's first Big Ten championship in twenty years by defeating Michigan 72-71 Hoosier head coach Tom Crean confronted Michigan assistant coach Jeff Meyer on the court. 

Meyer was an Indiana assistant coach when Kelvin Sampson was the Hoosier head coach when IU was hit with NCAA sanctions. 

The NCAA said Sampson and Meyer engaged in an impermissible recruiting contact during a two-day sports camp held at Assembly Hall in 2007.  Sampson was forced to resign.

Here's the video evidence of the confrontation.  (Thanks WRTV, Indianapolis)



UPDATE:
In Monday's Big Ten teleconference Tom Crean said he has apologized to Jeff Meyer. 

"I apologized for that and in retrospect, I wish I would not have addressed anything in the heat of battle. But it’s done,” Crean said.

Crean added, ""End of story. We move onto to the Big Ten tournament."

By the way the Hoosiers has never won the Big Ten Conference tournament.
