I don't know if this is where this should go, but it's the result of a fight so here it is. Move if you see fit.

The game will be remembered, on the short-term, as a regular-season victory, but will live on for Pankewicz's reaction to linesman Chris Wilson tackling Joe Grimaldi after a scuffle broke out on the ice with four and a half minutes gone in the third.

While Dan Sullivan and Russell Smith were engaged in fisticuffs, Grimaldi keyed in on another Mississippi player, but before he could get to him was tackled hard to the ice by Wilson.

Pankewicz was irate, and methodically dismantled his three-piece suit and tossed the clothing to the ice. Shirtless, Pankewicz's last tosses included his loafers. He did not want to comment on the situation after the game, but [Coach Chris] Stewart had plenty to say.

.....was at the game in Loveland, CO

My girlfriend and I were at game last Saturday night and it was embarrassing! The ref tackled Grimaldi by the neck and took him down to the ice to keep him from fighting and escorted him to the bench - couldn't happen to a better guy though as I was there for the weekend to watch 2 games and saw the crybaby Grimaldi hack the boards repeatedly in practice after missing a pass; pound a player at the game that night (Friday) who didn't fight back (was kicked out) and then then this Saturday.

I love coach/manager freak outs, but that's just stupid.

A Bruce Boudreau joke, sooo funny, good job puck daddy.
