Yes, it is. And that business with Wayne Nixon was bad enough, poor old Standings nearly died in that. Certainly ruined his career, what with the punctured lung and all. I can't believe that Nixon only got a Blue Ticket out of it, but of course he had to leave the League after that. Shivving is not nice, not at all, and I agree with those who think that shivvers should be blunted.

I understand that Symms is out of hospital, but in a temporary cast from his hips down. Good thing Life Flight was handy!
