Tony, I hope you and the rest of the list realize that you have
libeled Coach Walsh with allegations he has payed his players.
Saying you have heard these allegations does not protect you
from the law because it is just like when a newspaper publishes
a libelous statement by a source.
 
It is up to the officials to enforce the rules. If the referees
didn't notice the extra man, blame them, not Walsh. On the
radio up here Joe Carr said it was a brilliant move by Walsh
because there was so little time left in the game it would not
have mattered if a penalty was assessed. But, of course, I am
biased because I was not there and I am from Maine.
 
However, I really hope you realize the severity of your alleg-
ations because, believe it or not, Walsh and his staff read
some of hockey-l's postings.
 
You should know better than to post such serious allegations
without having substantial proof. You put Boston University
in a bad light.
