    I just have to ask, because those two agreeing Anons came from the same IP address: I assume so, but you are different Anons, right? (For others: Making a second post=cool; agreeing with yourself=not.*)

    I have to agree with the first Anonymous posting, so far Bridgeport has put a lot of emphasis on their defensive guys than their forwards. “Tamby and frans” are hot dogs (prima donnas actually) who think they’re better than they are. If Bridgeport has to go all season depending on those two its going to be a long year. These guys aren’t leaders.

    if they keep tamby and frans down here, then we’ll have a couple of offensive threats, and i think walter will be alright, but at least this year’s team has some goons to make things interesting. last year, nobody scored or hit anybody.

    I will be very interested to hear the logic the AHL used to decide on the suspension. If Rullier did not receive a penalty for at least unsportsmanlike conduct then the AHL braintrust seem to be indicating that they did this because they do not want liability for any injury, and do not want the owners of the team, or the arena, to be held liable. Their attitude must be that it was truly the act of a single individual (with powers and abilty far beyond those of mortal men) who must be held accountable. Right…
    Meanwhile, even though the season is still young, Bridgeport seems to be proving they do not have a team of scorers as was touted in the preseason. The players seem intent on passing, while passing up shots. The season will be a carbon copy of last year, minus the stellar goaltending, unless players start finding the net. So, who will step up and lead?

    Can’t imagine what kind of penalty call they’ll have to dream up for Rullier to complete the fantasy. In reviewing the rulebook I can see that almost every penalty involves an action against another player. A few involve an action against an official (or I guess even an opposing coach as I recall in Danbury one night). But, I don’t see anything for an action against a piece of plexiglass (which had to have been damaged already, but that’s another argument).

    This league should be ashamed of itself. Not only have they doled out punishment for something that is clearly not against the rules, but they’ve opened up liability against the player, the teams, and the league themselves by calling this act illegal after the fact. I don’t care what the back of the ticket says, the AHL just invited the guy who got hurt to sue and welcomed a crafty lawyer to use their penalty as an end around the back of ticket contract.
