I can see your posts, I just don't know what happened to Boss.

Did he leave SportsHoopla?

Ahh Boss has me on ignore?

Ok fine I will try and make it up to him.

Here is hoping that the Sabres score 2 goals in the home/home series with the Bruins this week.

Orpik passed all concussion tests... and speaks to media:

“I talked to him that night and I talked to him the day after. He was really apologetic,” Orpik said. “My record is far from perfect in this league and far from being completely clean. I think he knew he made a mistake and regretted it right away. I had the same feeling with incidents that I’ve been a part of. You try to learn from it, move on and be smarter in similar situations going forward. I know him pretty well. He’s always been a pretty good friend of mine.”

DarrenDreger: Thornton appeal lasted 5 hrs. Commissioner Bettman will digest info, make decision, write opinion and announce. Nothing before next week.

Holy Hannah, what could they discuss for five freakin' hours? I could see 60 minutes, maybe 90 minutes tops.

Attorneys are long winded dash and I'm guessing there were a few at that meeting.

At $500 per hour, that's pretty sweet billable time Boss.

I should have been a lawyer.

Bettman upholds Shanny's 15 game suspension of Thornton. Next stop, independent arbitrator.

Darn.

Not that I wanted him to succeed, I just REALLY want to see how this independent arbitrator process plays out.

I wonder if there's some behind-the-scenes decision-making at the NHLPA offices that they want to wait for a really strong test case for that process.

Me too - Oh well.

I sort of wanted him to do it too...mostly because I'd laugh when that person added games on.
