sorry getting our wires crossed. how about point form.
-of course players are accountable for their play on the ice
-coaches are accountable for their players actions and fixing the mistakes
-if mistakes continue after pointed out it's back on players.

anyway i'm more concerned that i ony have about 6 games or so left in my season than i am about hamrlik being up to his old tricks, although i wish i had about .001% of his talent. lombardi could be benched for a team thing say curfew, giving attitude at praccy, missing a bus, or it could be a personal thing, or a hockey thing not back checking, blowing assignments, not finishing checks, something that is hard to pick up on tv. oh and jamie good job taking your boy to his first nhl game. i will always remember my first game oilers and north stars and i couldn't wait to get out of the hotel i was pacing about 4 hours before game time. it's something i will always remember. it's a time with my dad that will never leave me, kind of like smelling arena ice or chalk on a ball diamond. it's weird but walking up to skyreach i always think of my dad taking me to games.
