All Things Binghamton Senators!

You could just as easily cut your own as the other team, or even the refs/linesmen. So the penalty *should be* called, or at least something should be done.

I think you'd cause a riot if you got a penalty for high sticking your own team-mate but I see your point. If it was all about careless use of the stick then it should result in some sort of discipline. I also think swinging a stick at someone regardless of whether you miss or not should result in something as well. Perhaps some sort of supplementary discipline upon league review would be in order? A fine after the fact may get players to be careful even around their own team-mates perhaps.

Like Ballard on Vokoun? That was reckless, and while I'm sure the team dealt with him internally at the time, it could have hit anyone.

And a couple of days ago I was watching TSN's highlights, and after a Columbus Blue Jackets loss, they showed Voracek whacking himself on the head with his stick out of frustration.... the guy has serious passion.

Not sure I'd punish a guy for hitting himself with his own stick but I guess it would need to be addressed too.

I was actually thinking of the Ballard on Vokoun thing when prages brought up his point. That definitely needs some sort of discipline as well. I agree there for sure.

Ottwa native Jason Bailey is retiring from hockey. Tough to hang them up at 24, but 9 points in 105 games in the AHL makes this sound like the right decision.

That's too bad.... he is still young... you would think he could play somewhere.

Here's hoping the B-Sens even have an arena to play in or a place to stay...as almost the entire city of Binghamton has been decimated by flooding.

Joy tweeted that the dressing rooms were fine, and you'd think those would be as low as the ice, or lower.

Any idea when the AHL pre-season starts? Is there an AHL pre-season?

Guess that answers my question in the other thread re: Gratchev

Didn't realize this was posted already.
