Mr. Evans-  I don't really know what you are getting at by rating these
players.  From a fans standpoint, I don't feel you have a position to term
*any* player as "ugly", "bad", or "punks".  Not every player on the team is
going to be a Bonin, and they all work as a team anyway.  Yes they do have
their bad streaks, but terming third line players in this fashion is
unacceptable.
 
I went to high school with Crowley, Checco, LaFleur, and Trebil and I know
that they take the game seriously.  Whether or not they have a good season
does not mean they are hobey's or they stink.  Terming Brian LaFleur a
"punk" is meaningless and has no value.
 
I apologize to the hockey-l "decency code", but I just feel this action is
unacceptable.  I remember reading this post the first time Mr. Evans sent
it, and I let it slide. I don't agree with reposting it.   I have also
noticed other posts that seem to be frustrated feelings from Mr. Evans and I
am just expressing my dismay.  Thank You.
 
I apologize if I have overreacted in any way.
