Mario Throwing His Stick During A Game

[bladoww]

Does anyone else recall Mario (or some other Pen, I'm pretty sure it was Mario) sitting on his butt in the middle of the ice and thowing his stick because he was pissed about a call or something? I want to say it was in the playoffs but I just don't remember. I looked around on Youtube and couldn't find anything. You guys remember this?

Yep! That's it. Thanks.

My details were a little off though lol. At least I'm not completely senile.

Wow. Mario had a nice temper.

I remember seeing him lose his cool in the playoffs against Washington one year. That was fun to see.

Doesn't Jagr throw his stick at a ref in 1992 at gets a 10-game suspension or something to close to that? Maybe you combined the two events? (Or I made this one up)

Gotta wonder what Fraser said there.

I can't complain too much. One time I got ejected from a basketball game under very similar circumstances, where the ref was shooting his mouth off within earshot of our bench during a time-out. Technically it's the player's responsibility to keep their cool, but typically in a situation like that it's the ref's fault that the situation gets out of control.

What year was that?

Nah Mario threw his stick on to the ice from the box and Fraser calmly skated by and told him he was gone. The broadcast cuts to a replay when he throws his stick.

N.H.L. Lemieux Is Ejected Pittsburgh Penguins center Mario Lemieux was ejected from last night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning but his teammates held on for a 2-1 home victory. Lemieux was given a game misconduct penalty for the third time in his career after he left the penalty box to charge referee Kerry Fraser. Lemieux was disputing a high-sticking call that sent him to the box at 18:59 of the opening period.

Calm down Mario, it's just a game.

Check the vid at 6:25 to see him throw it. I didn't catch it the first time through.

I think Fraser skated by to tell him he'd tacked on a ten-minute misconduct, then sealed his fate for the evening by coming out of the box to go after Fraser.
