pretty ironic that it was mr. brewster who took the penalty in game four to give the storm a pp. to score and win the game.
ReplyDeleteway to work storm.
live by the sword, die by it too.
ReplyDeleteBrewster is a perfect example of old thinking hockey where there really isn't room for anymore.
If the Posse continue this line of thinking, they will continue to get what they've gotten during the last 3 years... nothing but suspensions.
It's not only the Posse, it's the whole mentality of the game. Yes, it's an emotional game but it seems like the line to be crossed has been skewed in favor of "goonism". That mentality needs to be addressed at the grassroots levels like Junior B before it works it way up to the professionals.
The KIJHL has addressed the issue to an extent however now the owners, managers, and coaches need to escape the mentality that keeps dragging the issue forward. The rules are in place.
