        Right Al: But there comes a time and a place for that...Most hockey
coachs don't want a goalie focusing on entertainiing the crowd. They want
him to stop goals. He seems less defiant after her gives up a few goals.
Also there is kind of an unwritten rule that you don't taunt the home
team and  their crowd. I still would have him tone it down...Or run the
chance of being run like he was by by Murphy.
