Just a follow-up to the Nottingham story....The rink held about 4500 people packed to rafters and they got more excited about the blood than anything else, which on this particular evening I was the centre of their applause. There was no partition between the players bench and the fans so basically we'd have the local characters sitting right beside us, when I came to the bench after getting a crosscheck to the mouth, well needless to say there was alot of blood as you could basically see my teeth thru the cut. We had an equipment guy who was a security guy who posed as a stitchman and to the bench I go bleeding all over anyone close to me getting a dozen stiches right beside some character smoking a cig. and drawing on a pint and getting bled all over....I think I got player of the game just for losing the most blood....
The Canucks are on a great tear this year, on pace to win the Presidents Cup which will be a great feat for the team for sure. The only problem that I see with that is the Hawks or Sharks look like if they get in it will be just barely which could bring them in 8th....so first round could be the Hawks vs. the Canucks and we all know how that story has played out....
