Comments on: The Airing of Grievances for 2009 http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/12/the-airing-of-grievances-for-2009/ The Nashville Predators' No. 1 rival Wed, 23 May 2012 18:52:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: two for slashing http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/12/the-airing-of-grievances-for-2009/#comment-18473 two for slashing Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:50:50 +0000 http://thetwolinepass.com/?p=1618#comment-18473 I talked about intent to blow in my blog last month: "I intended to be a fireman when I was 5. Does that mean I can start axing doors and using a firetruck as my main means of transportation? According to the NHL, it does." It is, in my opinion, the dumbest rule and 3rd most detrimental to the game (just behind broken stick slashing and delay of game... just ahead of the trapezoid). Awful rule that needs to be changed... doubt it will be anytime soon, tho. I talked about intent to blow in my blog last month:

Most Montreal fans actually love him. But no, I cannot explain the Gomez trade or why Georges Laraque continues to take the money I worked so hard to spend on T-shirts and tickets. Love the Airing Of Grievances, and I've got to agree that that Flames game is better off forgotten.

I agree that the game after the lockout is much better, and Bettman had a hand in that, but he has made way too many glaring mistakes as commissioner to get a pass. I fully agree with your Assessment of Titus Andronicus, though. Doesn’t your #1 reason refute your #6 reason?

Good post on balance though :).

The defence of Bettman actually made me re-think my hate for him, but only for a couple seconds, which is a feat in itself.
