Sorry.

Sorry.
I was about to delete this as inappropriate, but that block mechanic deserves this.

Several years ago, our long time local board assignment commissioner / secretary / treasurer / past president, passed away. In his honor, we wore a black wristband that season. I tend to sweat a lot on the court (due to my blazing speed). I found the wrist band to be quite useful in wiping sweat from my forehead, preventing it from dripping into my eyes. I hated not wearing it the following season.

High sticking on a slapshot?

Too bad Bill Kennedy didn't show this clip at Officiate Michigan Day during his presentation with Joey Crawford.

No shot, the foul was during the side-to-side motion...

I would have liked to see Crawford rip into him in front of the whole group there the way he ripped into some of the guys they showed on some of their clips. But then again, Kennedy coulda come up with a lot more of Crawford that he coulda ripped into him about.
