Ryan Smyth Whacks Network Guy On Live TV

((HT: Sportsnet))

The Edmonton Oilers Ryan Smyth has a tradition during pre-game warm-ups...

As he comes off the ice, he makes a point to give a tap to either Sportsnet's Gene Principe, Mark Spector, or both...

For the last home game of the year, they wore hockey pants as an homage...

Here's the edited version of the very loud lumberjacking

Stolarz Banned 8 For Lumberjacking

((HT: Sportsnet/Cogeco))

Here's what London Knights goalie Anthony Stolarz did a day back when he didn't like what happened to him...
As a result of his retaliation to Josh Ho-Sang, Stolarz gets eight games on the bench... He won't be available until (at the earliest) the Western Conference Finals... “I apologize for my actions on Tuesday night. It’s an unfortunate situation and in no way did I intend to injure my opponent, Joshua Ho-Sang,” Stolarz said...

In a prepared statement... the HQ believes...

What In The Blue Hell Was Anthony Stolarz Thinking...???

((HT: Sportsnet/Cogeco))

London and Windsor are going at it in the Ontario Hockey League tonight...

The HQ is just going to show you this exchange with the Knights goalie and Windsor Spitfire's Josh Ho-Sang

If the OHL office doesn't come down hard on Stolarz, then something is seriously wrong...

Ho-Sang chopped Stolarz... yes, the HQ gets that...

But, even as the Knights are rolling in their first round quarterfinal series with a 10-2 win Tuesday night, it doesn't mean you should pop somebody on the back of their head like a kid being disciplined by his grandfather.

With the thick end of your goalie stick...
