Loved this.... Get him, Jonesy (he should have done same thing last year with a Nikolay Zherdev to illustrate why he was in Laviolette's doghouse so much last year).

I saw that on television. I thought it was great. I thought it was curious that many folks were so excited that this guy was coming back to Nashville. I figured they knew something I didn't know. I guess they didn't. I'd want no part of that guy on the team I rooted for.

He's about an easy a guy to root for when he's on your team as there is. The guys I work with who are Rags and Devils fans think Hartnell is fantastic, as does my Bruins friend. Anyone would love Hartnell on their team.

The crazy thing is that he wasnt like that in round one... or nearly as evident as that because the offense was there.
For those who hate pro wrestling, I apologize in advance. Heard a reference to Antonio Inoki vs. Muhammad Ali just now and that reminded me of something.
Last week, I finally found a working Youtube clip of a match I always wanted to see but never saw til now: The infamous Inoki vs. "Great" Antonio Barichievich match from Japan that turned into a shoot (legitimate fight) after a few minutes.
The background story to this is that Great Antonio -- a part-time wrestler/ part time sideshow attraction who legitimately suffered from mental illness and alcoholism -- was booked to headline a match against Inoki in Japan in 1977.
For whatever reason, Barichievich decided not to cooperate at all with Inoki. That's what you see for the first 4 minutes of the match.
At around the 4 minute mark, "Great Antonio" takes liberties with Inoki, legitimately pulling on his head and clubbing him hard in the back of the neck. That's when Inoki has had enough, and lays a vicious beating on Barichievich, breaking his nose and eye socket in the process. The match is stopped abruptly.
About 10 years ago, Barichievich died. For most of his latter life, he was a severely mentally ill homeless man living on the streets, coffee shops and subway stations of Montreal. He used to do "strongman feats" for tips and carry around a trash bag filled to the brim with his old press clippings and photos.

Thanks for posting that..Hard to imagine it going down like that in the current world or pro wrestling.
Did you read any updates on Sabu after the issues this weekend?

And now back to the hockey talk.... - bmeltzer
damn that was crazy
amazing how you can instantly hear the difference between real hits to the back like that from Antonio (with the actual contact making the sound) and "hits" during a traditional match (with most of the noise coming from the stomping of the feet during the strike).
, players which suprised me.
