trash talking seems to have gotten into hockey.
'Tis a real shame, that.
Anybody remember the comments from the US hockey olympic team at the last olympics in the week leading up to the gold medal game?
I can kind of understand the kids doing it, but the ref was waaaay out of line; he's an adult and should know better.
The coach of the team in question at least reacted to it appropriately; in the article (sounds like it was lifted straight from the G&M; they must've put it on the wire) he said he was going to give them a lecture about respecting your opponent.
