All that training helped him when he jumped the border with his family.
Word is he jumped the border with his skates on.

Also, word is Manny Fernandez & Scott Gomez were the "Coyotes" that helped guide Martinez and his family across the US Border.

This was all while avoiding Raffi Torres' hit-squad and drive-bys.






I believe Bill Guerin was also a ...and obviously, Al Montoya.

Carcillo ban reduced to 6. Available for game 4!!

Carcillo's suspension revised to six games
Tuesday, 06.03.2014 / 11:53 AM / News

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=7...d=nhl:topheads

NEW YORK -- National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman today ruled that the suspension to New York Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo will be revised to six (6) games for his actions in violation of Rule 40.4 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final in New York on May 22.

Carcillo had originally been assessed a suspension under Rule 40.3 for deliberately applying physical force to an official. A violation of that particular Rule requires a minimum suspension of "not less than ten (10) games."

After considering Carcillo's appeal during a hearing at the NHL's New York office on Friday, May 30, the Commissioner ruled that Carcillo's actions were more appropriately deemed a violation of Rule 40.4 for deliberately applying "physical force to an official for the sole purpose of getting free of such official during or immediately following an altercation." The Commissioner determined that as appropriately re-classified under Rule 40.4, and under the totality of the circumstances, a suspension of six (6) games was the proper penalty.

The National Hockey League does not and will not, under any circumstances, tolerate or condone the abuse, physical or otherwise, of our on-ice officials. The strict and proper enforcement of Rule 40, therefore, plays a critical role in safeguarding the integrity of the game by maintaining a safe and respectful working environment for our officials.

As Carcillo already has served three (3) games of the suspension that was originally assessed on May 23, he will be eligible to return for Game 4 of the 2014 Stanley Cup Final.

Maybe his app didn't update yet that the Hawks got eliminated? They are buggy like that.

@ Sutter's lines...Was he ever like this when he was with the Hawks? I honestly don't recall or maybe just did not notice at that age.

Good question. I dunno.

I don't think they did as many "pressers" back then.

Good point.





NOT THAT THIS IS FOR ANYONE IN PARTICULAR, BUT IN CASE YOU DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BLACKHAWKS HISTORY, SUTTER WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST HAWKS PLAYERS EVAR...SO, GLAD TO SEE HIM SUCCESSFUL BEHIND THE BENCH AGAIN.

Quick's route to the Cup went through the 6th, 1st, and 2nd-ranked offenses...Lundqvist's route was against the 21st, 8th, and 5th-ranked offenses...

Does this attribute to the better numbers for King Henrik? Probably. Just sayin'...


Again, I'm all for this series...it better be good. Or the runner-up should be the Hawks. Not NY.

Although, really...who cares if you're the runner-up.

...because clearly everyone knows the Eastern Conference was the better conference by a long shot this year, not to mention the Pacific division was the weakest in all of the league.

Because the East & West never play each other nor have any interaction until the Stanley Cup Finals.

Actually a recent study showed that the hockey powerhouse that is England invented the game.
