SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

I look for guys like TO and Ochocinco to have solid, non-verbal careers from this point forward, given their knowledge that they game they like to play the most is now owned in perpetuity by Charlie Sheen.

Much like the quest to find out which Sox game was shown in Field of Dreams, Which Red Sox Game Was Featured in The Town'?

Remember the chaos last month between the Pens and Isles? When Mario threatened to grab his toys and go home? Well, Trevor Gilles, the Islander who was suspended for 9 games for a hit to the head returned to action last night against the Wild. I wonder how that went...

returned to action last night against the Wild

Anyone remember back when tough players in the NHL would drop their gloves and settle things face to face? Pathetic how the Gilles/Matt Cooke/Bertuzzi hit 'em in the head from behind types are allowed in the game at all.

Here's some possible solutions: 1. Throw these repeat offending clowns out of the game. 2. Any team that receives a major intent to injure type penalty has the offender and it's top scorer (or plus minus guy) also suspended for 5 games.

Thanks Tommy. Here's hoping Edmonton where I live gets some games.

I've had a crap day. That has lifted my mood a bit.
