Our society has dispensed with the tradition of sportsmanship and replaced it with selfishness & holding grudges?
Yes, Cody Beach held a season long grudge against L'Heureux and somewhat less of a grudge against the Admirals as a whole.
The proof happened in last night's game. A CV player received a minor. He tried to hide on the CV bench. He had to be nearly yanked off of the bench and back onto the ice. He proceeded to skate very slowly across the ice, bitching at the officials for the entire 100 feet. Then he stopped short of the box and continued his yakking without getting into the penalty box. It took a whole minute for him to get into the box from when his skates hit the ice.
If that was an Admiral, he would have received a 10 minute misconduct. If it was L'Heureux, it would have been a 10 and a gamer. I have seen Beach give those penalties to the Admirals several times this season for a lot less than what that Firebird did or did not do.
The rules should apply to both teams equally. That did not happen last night, especially in period one! Cody Beach was the reason why. He should be banned from the AHL.
