SIMON'S THE FATHER

*three snaps*

He also threw a cheeseburger in protest of his seat on the team bus and ended up hitting Lemieux with it. I believe he didn't go to jail for ****, he got probation for it, which he promptly violated by shooting someone with a BB gun and then threatening to kill them if they told anyone. He led the police on two high speed chases in 2007, because go big or go home, I guess.

His mentality comes from having rich parents who bought his way out of trouble any time he did something stupid, thus making him a petulant little brat well into adulthood.

Tibbetts definitely did time. He was on parole, not probation. Craig Patrick signed him on his release from prison. The papers tried to make it look like his crime was merely of the statutory variety, but it was not.

It's appropriate that the Flyers were the other team that liked him. Watch them give Scurko a second chance this summer, too.

Yeah, he did time for violating his parole, assault, victim intimidation and a whole host of other things.

At least they acquitted themselves pretty well, all things considered. The organization at least knows they are capable of playing at the NHL level if they find a dancing partner to trade one of the veteran guys. Also those young guys only bolstered their values as well with good showings.

Ummm... did you "acclimated"?!

Ummm, alright I've never heard that term used that way. It is usually always used in legal context.

My brain had a complete fart / breakdown trying to read and understand what he meant

This is glorious.

I think the last straw occured in a baby pens/big pens exhibition game.
Mario was playing, and was putting on a show "stick handling in a phone booth" and so on.

Mario was playing with the baby pens, billy tibbets was up with the big pens.
He came hurtling in and checked the crap out of Mario. I *swear* to this day that that was what injured his hip as you could tell he was seriously not right in that area right after the hit. I know the surgery/injury was described as an overuse one. But Mario was skating ok before that hit, and never again after. So maybe it just aggravated it to the point that he couldn't get it under control.

He also cross checked Mario during a training camp scrimmage right in his wonky back.

What a knuckle head. Dirty plays on a team mate, a guy who signs your paycheck.

Soon after that he ended up going back down to the AHL and soon after was out of the pens organization.

Hard to say but we probably would've gotten one more decent season of Mario without Tibbetts.

Thing is Billy was actually fairly talented. When he was in the AHL he was noticeably better then all his peers in the games I saw him. Two cent head though, and a convicted rapist...

Minor detail but he's also legally not allowed in Canada for any reason...and wasn't at any point of his AHL career.
