Over the weekend the Barrie Colts and the Sudberry wolves continued their playoff series with the third game.  Well this game had some interesting aspects:

1) There was a bench clearing brawl, when are these seen any more?  Not often at all!
2) There was a one man fight with Kain Allicock going after Stefan Della Rovere.
3) Lastly forward  Zac Rinaldo hit Wolves forward Marcus Foglino from behind.  How fitting that Rinadlo is a Flyer prospect!

Here are videos of the first two incidents:

In my opinion Kain in the second video should be suspended because there was no need what so ever for what he did.

Thoughts and opinions?

Today the US mens hockey team defeated Finland 6-1 advancing to the gold medal game on Sunday afternoon taking on the winner of Canada VS Slovakia.  It will be 3 o’clock on Sunday while the Bronze game is tomorrow night.

Unfortunatly the US women failed to grab gold last night losing to Canada 2-0.

I regret to inform the loyal readers of this site that in the coming days it will no longer be operational.  We will be switching to a new address which will probably be savetheisles.webs.com but I will confirm later.  I just wanted to take this time to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the readers who have been following us for the last couple months and hope that you will follow us over to the new location.  The end of savetheisles.com I believe will be by tuesday as the domain is up and I don’t have the money to renew it.  It will be gone for the foreseable future but it is possible we will come back once we get the money again to get the domain.

Thanks,
Savetheisles

Remember our new address will more then likely be Savetheisles.webs.com but as I said above I will confirm later.  Thanks again to all the readers of the last few months!

 Update (11/4 @ 4:24 P.M.) : The culprit Michael Liambas has been suspended for the rest of the 09-10 OHL season including playoffs.  I am happy to see that the OHL got this right!

 http://www.ontariohockeyleague.com/ohl-ann…rangers-p138647

In case you don’t know what happened I will give you a brief summary below:

In an OHL game on Friday October 30th 16 year old defenseman Ben Fanelli of the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL was hit viciously from behind by Michael Liambas.  The hit sent Ben very hard into the boards knocking his helmet on the ice.  He stayed still for 40 minutes before being escorted off the ice on a stretcher and then was airlifted to the hospital where he remains in critical condition.  The hit caused him to get a fractured skull and orbital bone as well as facial lacerations.  I read that his mom was in attendance and passed out at the site of her injured son and had to be revived.  To see the hit click the link below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1a12G5xWYE&feature=player_embedded  (Warning pretty graphic)

Now onto the culprit Michael Liambas!!  He has been suspended indefinitely from the OHL.  In case you don’t know he has a history of hitting with the intent to injure including hitting Islander star rookie forward John Tavares from behind in last years playoffs.  This guy is 20 years old playing with teenagers.  In the opinion of us here at savetheisles this man needs to be suspended 1 year minimum from OHL play and he can’t play professional hockey anywhere in the US or Canada during the suspension.  To see the hit on Tavares click the link below:

Our hopes and prayers go out to Ben and his family!!  We wish him a speedy recovery!!

Get well Soon!!
