  PM to hockey: 'clean up your act' In what I thought would be a true return of some interest to covering hockey, "we fans" now see the public relations disaster spreading in the media.
Their bias against the NHL is only fueled by the latest controversial incident involving Todd Bertuzzi #44 of the Vancouver Cannucks and Steve More #36 of the Colorado Avalanche. Apparently, there was some bad blood between 'Couver and Moore who was alleged to have taken a hit on Naslund some time ago. Bertuzzi saw fit to stalk him on the ice and sucker punch him from behind. Moore hit the ice with such force it broke his neck and now puts his career in jepardy. " I don't think it's given Canada a black eye, but I certainly don't think it's helped hockey, '' said Liberal PM Paul Martin. Indeed, Mr. Martin. This is not good for the casual fan who won't put up with said antics. ESPN, CNN, CNN-HN, Fox Sports are all talking about it, but holding a negative referendum on the violence. The anti-hockey crowd is just licking their chops with the negative spin. If it can't get any worse.
Look what I found on the AP wire... AMERICA'S BAD GIRL IN ACTION FRIDAY AS PART OF "GUARANTEED FIGHT NIGHT" ... reads the headline in the Indianapolis Ice on their urlLink official web site as disgraced and maligned Figure Skater Tonya Harding has signed on to play in a CHL game this coming Friday. If this isn't a publicity stunt, I don't know what is. Hockey is officially out of control! I now pronounce myself as Hockey Czar and ruler of all things on "the frozen pond"! *smile*
