Probably the funniest fight in NHL history:
Semin fight (hilarious)

Is there any possible way that Don Cherry can discuss that fight without getting fired from the CBC? If so it's only because Semin isn't French.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

QuoteHockey stick souvenir loss merits a major misconduct

As the clock ticked down on the Detroit Red Wings' 6-4 Winter Classic victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday at Wrigley Field, Kalan Plew rushed from his seat above the third-base dugout to the spot where his beloved Wings would exit the ice.

The Gurnee teenager had hoped to get high fives from the players as they passed.

What he got was a hockey fan's dream.

As the Red Wings left the field, one of them, Henrik Zetterberg, made eye contact with the 14-year-old.
"He kind of winked," Plew said. "Then he gave me his stick."

Elated, Plew proudly carried the stick through the stands and was headed to the front entrance, where his father was waiting for him.

As he left the stadium, a man dressed like a security guard told him to hand the hockey stick over, he said. Plew said the man told him he was not allowed to have the stick if his parents weren't around.

The man took the stick and told the teenager he could pick it up at the stadium's customer relations office.

Plew said he ran to his dad, who was just a short distance away. Together, they went to the ticket office and then to another office inside. They were told there was no hockey stick with Plew's name on it.

"I was so excited to get it," said Plew, a die-hard Detroit fan. "Then to have that guy take it away. ..."


Marc Plew said his son was part of group that purchased obstructed-view seats for $25 each through a youth hockey league. There were seven kids in the group, escorted by six adults. Marc Plew watched the game in a bar across from the stadium, then met his son outside Wrigley's main gate.

By then, the father said, Kalan was in tears.

"I don't understand a person who could do this," Marc Plew said.

The elder Plew said he found a man outside the stadium who worked for the Red Wings and explained what happened. The man gave him his e-mail address. Marc Plew said he e-mailed several times that day but heard nothing back.

So he e-mailed the Tribune.

"That opportunity will never happen again in his lifetime," Marc Plew said. "Whoever this person was, ruined it."

On Friday, the Problem Solver called officials at both Wrigley Field and the Red Wings.

Monday morning, Red Wings spokesman John Hahn said the team will try to fill the void.

"Sometime this week we'll get another stick from Henrik and send it to him," Hahn said.

Hahn said his office spoke with Zetterberg, who said he remembers giving his stick to a young fan.

"Henrik gave a kid a stick, and somehow it got taken away from him," Hahn said. "It's unfortunate, and we'll make it right."

Just what happened remains unclear. Cubs spokesman Carl Rice said the stadium has a policy that requires fans to check large items like bats and hockey sticks, which are not allowed in the seats. In such cases, the fan is supposed to be taken to customer relations, where he or she fills out a form and is given a ticket to retrieve the item after the game.

Rice said the policy would not have applied in Plew's case because the game was over, and the teenager was outside the stadium when the hockey stick was taken. Rice said he does not believe a Cubs or NHL employee took Plew's stick.

"He should have been able to walk out of the stadium without problem," Rice said. "The question is whether somebody stole it."

Plew is still bummed not to have the stick from the Winter Classic, but he's happy the Red Wings will send him another one.

"I appreciate it," he said. "I feel great, but it's just not the same."

Cubbie scum. They nicked it and they know it. Like someone is going to dress up as a security guard on the offchance they can steal a hockey stick given to a kid by a player! Loveable loser logic.

Cool pic.  Kasparitus is an allstar over there. 

And the Flyers wont make it past Boston this year in the playoffs.  They are unreal, as the Sharks are in the west
