Here is the original article that Weinrich is referencing if anyone's
interested.  Personally I  am contemplating writing my own letter to the
editor.  This author is obviously not a hockey fan and can't possibly
appreciate what losing the NHL means.  I know we all love college hockey
here, but I am equally a big NHL fan and the thought that next fall it
won't be around is very distressing!  I won't make any excuses for what
Bertuzzi did, but I think the NHL has shown that it wants to improve its
image and the punishment they have handed down is in my opinion a fair
one.  I know this doesn't have much to do with college hockey, but then
I sure will miss cheering for all our UMaine alumns if the NHL goes away.
