AVH was the best the NHL had since Bill Friday and he was probably the best ever! Some RAT must of caused this mess. If it was Mark, it is so sad because he had so many people pushing him and carrying his water for so many years. I would not think he was a Rat - but you never know with a lot of the "new breed". AVH has donated more time to all levels of hockey than 500 other officials. If he did anything wrong, it was forgetting that we live in a very stupid time where being a Rat is considered "rational" and being open or honest is considered a "loose cannon" or "possibly liable". I wonder what John D'AMico or Ray would do if they knew who the Rat or the rats were who would throw out such utter garbage. I can see Scampy now, grinding some scum into the ice or out on the track. Both he and John knew how to take care of such rodents. Slap em, sting em, cut em and them hold their still beating heart in front of their cowardly eyes. This makes me sick!
