I wanted the boys (eight yr. olds) in my class to wake up so I casually (but loud enough so they could hear it) commented that I thought Bertuzzi was an animal and should be thrown in jail. Well! I haven't seen them so animated this whole year. They turned on me! "yeh," they said "he's an animal, all right (broad, appreciative grins all around) but the cops better stay off the ice!" Besides that, they reasoned, thats what you get when you mess with the captain of our team!   

Go figure...? Canada has the reputation of being a peaceful country but it has the bloodiest sport of all!

It must be some kind of way to balance a passive image or something ...
