So, I'm not sure if this has been posted here yet or not...

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/sports/hockey/derek-boogaard-a-boy-learns-to-brawl.html?_r=1

Part 1 of a three part series of very long articles about Derek Boogaard. It's uh.... it's some pretty heavy stuff. As someone who used to watch Wild games when they were really bad and freely admit "I'm just watching because I wanna see Boogaard cave in somebody's skull" I came away from reading these feeling almost sick and a decent amount ashamed.

The people who want to get fighting out of hockey need to stop talking about Sidney Crosby (whose issues quite obviously have nothing to do with fighting) and make Boogaard their poster child, because man, that would be pretty damn hard to argue with...

It's very long, but all hockey fans really need to read this.

NHL refs are ****ing jokes.

Foligno hit a guy, there's no call on the play, and two minutes later they decide they want to call a 5 minute major for charging (it was NOT a charge) and kick him out of the game.

Not to mention, Jovanovski came in and slammed Foligno's face into the glass in retaliation, and didn't get a minor or anything.

Such bull****.

Nice article, although I was really expecting it to cover his time in the NHL too... now I'm all invested in his story and I only know half of it.

He was the biggest, baddest, fighter in the game two years ago. Now he's dead.

Welcome to every game with the Sens. We have to play against the other team and the refs.

Maybe what Potvin was implying is true -- because Foligno got in a spat with Crosby the league is targeting him. Something needs to happen because the integrity of the league is absolute **** when it comes to officiating. Ottawa always gets the worst of it. Unreal.

Something turned around during the run to the Cup Finals back in 2007 - the Sens always used to get a whole bunch of chances and calls in their favor (or at least not terribly not in their favor). Ever since then, though, they barely get any calls at all and just get ruined by the refs. Pretty sure they've had by far the most games without a single powerplay, too.

06/07: 14th most powerplays, 11th fewest times shorthanded
07/08: 25th most powerplays, 26th fewest times shorthanded

(I know to someone who doesn't watch Sens games, this sounds like baseless whining. But it's not, seriously.)

nhl.com poll:
Who will lead the League in points this season?
Claude Giroux (Flyers)
Marian Hossa (Blackhawks)
Phil Kessel (Maple Leafs)
Evgeni Malkin (Penguins)
Henrik Sedin (Canucks)
Daniel Sedin (Canucks)
Other

I think it'll be Toews.

That was amusing. Islanders pull their goalie right as the Rangers steal the puck and Mitchell shoots it in from half ice. How embarrassing.
