At any rate, I don't follow the guy and I certainly can't talk with any confidence about what kind of a guy he really is but it does seem that everytime the guys name hits the news it is for something less than stellar. Be it the hazing, the fighting with the team mate, the style of play he employs, the BS diving at the World Jrs.
Admittedly not all are a testiment to wether he is a stand up guy or not (depending on how an individual chooses to define it) but in the context I meant it, these are the types of incidents/comments I based it on.
As far as who reported it to the league, I wasn't implying conclusively that Downey was the one, I was just questioning where it came from. If the ref was the one who reported it (thanks for the info by the way) then it's baffeling to say the least. I have heard guys say worse in my beer league where the emotions and stakes aren't nearly as high.
If the ref doesn't report it then history suggests it probably came from the guy who was the target, which is obviously where the Downey question came from.
If you think Downie has character issues, then you can ask Brian Sutter what he thinks about Steve Downie. And the last time I checked, Brian Sutter had nothing but positive things to say about Steve and the player he is. And to be honest, I'll take his word over anyone else on here.
