McSorley had a longer record than did Bertuzzi when it comes to "supplementary discipline", dating right back to his junior days. (I still remember the spear he delivered to Mike Bullard in the playoffs, and I suspect that Bullard's family jewels still remember it also.) <BR/><BR/>Due to the fact that Bertuzzi is a rather unlikeable guy in front of the camera, and McSorley comes off a little more contrite and polished, (plus being a Friend of Gretzky), he came out of that ugly stick swinging incident with his reputation far less tarnished than one might have expected. Of course, if the victims' respective fates had been reversed (Moore resumes his career, Brashear forced to retire), the reputations might have changed also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-27916164653399805812007-11-11T22:51:00.000-05:002007-11-11T22:51:00.000-05:00Well, it's very flimsy, it was on a message board....Well, it's very flimsy, it was on a message board.<BR/><BR/>Can't you picture Marty just firing back at one of the players, "It's not a tumah!"sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-82272743079553896222007-11-11T22:47:00.000-05:002007-11-11T22:47:00.000-05:00Hiring McSorley really isn't much worse than the K...Hiring McSorley really isn't much worse than the Kamloops Blazers hiring Greg Hawgood from the Blazers' old boys network. <BR/><BR/>As someone who spent 12 years coaching teenagers in football, though, let me tell you he is in for a hell of a shock. Remember the scene in Kindergarten Cop when Arnie gets back to the hotel room after the first day with the kids, flops on the bed and announces, "They're HORRRRIBLE"? It'll be like that. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
