You're right, B33 - Domi and Quinn calling Hearlty BucshLeague, sayin' he has no respect from players etc...do they even know who they're talking about?  You gotta be kidding.  Domi is officially a loser.  Anyway, not that I condone it but it was nice to see someone smoke some Leaf! But I bet mother Tucker is upset today.  The funniest comment was when Quinn was upset that Heartly had his goons out even while losing so badly - then why did Quinn have his goons out there?

O'neil actually was respectable with his post-game comments and he doesn't deserve to be stuck with that pile of dead leafs.  The Leafs used to be respectable but now they are just a bunch of goons, right?  Wow.  Anyway, let's see the fallout.  Sutton should get a few games a least for his hit.  That might be all, though.  There replay wasn't clear on the Lindros hit and the fights seemed clean as can be.

Clotheslining Neidermeyer was one of the cheapest shots I had ever seen. The only difference with him and Bertuzzi was there was no permanent injury. But being after the whistle made it worse in my book. A total mugging.

It just gets to me that this idiot gets to play in one of the meccas of hockey, while Theo Fleury is playing in Northern Ireland. For a few hundred a game!

The only upside is that he's one of the most easy-to-hate characters since most of the mid-70's flyers.

Anyone see the highlights of the game on TSN? Toronto routs Atlanta 9-1. Lindros gets hit by an elbow and Tie Dummi jumps in and starts a brawl. Later Tucker gets slammed face first into the glass and cut up for 20 stitches. I am not here to debate whether the hit on Lindros or Tucker were cheap shots..to be honest..the Lindros shot, the guy got the elbow up, with Tucker, it was from behind, although Tucker should know better by now to turn your back to a guy when you are 2 feet from the boards..they teach that in Timbits.
But what bothers me are 3 things:
 

Pat Quinn- I respect the guy as a coach. But he needs a tractor trailer load of cheese to go with all his whine. He comes across as a guy who is coaching a bunch of players nominated for sainthood. " He has the NERVE to say that the other team was "headhunting". This is a guy who has had Tie Domi, Wade Belak, and "Mr. Clean", Bryan Marchment on his team??? Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones Pat. One thing I love about Julien. You seldom see him behiond the bench throwing hos arms up in the air and screaming. And you never hear him badmouthing another coach at the press conference after the game. I am a big believer that players (at whatever level) take on the personality of their coach. If the coach is upset all the time and whining, the players feed off that and do the same. If he is calm and cool then the team stays foucused when faced with adversity. Just watch the difference tonite between the demeanour of Quinn vs Jules..I will take CJ.
Tie Dummi- he calls another player "BUSH LEAGUE"?!??????!! That is comparable to if Bill Clinton called another married man a cheater. He says that no one respects the Coach of the Thrashers. How much respect does Tie Dummi have from other players in the league?! ZERO. Tie, how would you classify taking Niedermyers head off a coupel years ago after the whistle?  I have said it before. This guy is an idiot and the fact that he can make a living in that league is a joke.
Darcy Tucker- Darcy, I saw you play in Fredericton when the Habs had you out of Junior. You were a coward then and you are a coward now. You have given more cheap shots out then. What goes around comes around. Anyone remember him almost killing Roenick in the playoffs a couple years ago? Bottom line Darcy. What goes around, comes around. Live by the sword and die by the sword.
 
I have zero respect for a coach and team that plays like the Leafs do and has the nerve to point fingers and whine. They whine constantly. Have a look in the mirror boys.

Good call Barry.
