Mr. Fraser, I think everyone would like to hear your opinion on what sort of suspension Zac Rinaldo should get. His comment after the game of I changed the whole game, man. Who knows what the game would have been like if I didnt do what I did? not only suggests that he doesnt have any remorse for his actions, but perhaps that hes proud of them. Combining that statement with his history and a reasonable person could believe that he intended to cause injury. Certainly his history is very similar to that of Matt Cooke circa 2011, and this hit looks just as dangerous (if not more so) than the one that got Cooke a season-ending suspension then. Would you expect a similar punishment at this point? Joseph in Colorado Joseph: My opinion is that minimal suspensions (one, two or three games) are not a sufficient deterrent for players to avoid making dangerous hits that can, and often do result in injury! The Philadelphia Flyers are a proud but desperate hockey club. They have dug a huge hole for themselves that will be very difficult, if not impossible to overcome this season. But like a proud fighter that is on the ropes and unwilling to go down, the Flyers have plenty of fight left in them. They came out swinging once the fuse was lit after Zac Rinaldo ran Kris Letang from behind into the boards. While I have to question the very poor judgment Rinaldo displayed for making this dangerous hit on Letang he spoke nothing but the truth, that his actions did in fact change the whole complexion of the game. Probably not the most intelligent thing to do either! Rinaldo has been extended the courtesy of an in-person hearing with the Player Safety Committee for any suspension that can exceed five games. While Rinaldos post-game comments certainly wont help his defence, the length of suspension will be determined based on the circumstance surrounding the hit, the resulting injury to Letang and Rinaldos past history. The evidence that must be considered is that the illegal hit was very late (Letang did not have the puck), Letang was facing the boards in a defenceless position, Rinaldo elevated and left his feet through the illegal hit, the contact was made to the back of Letang and resulted in injury to the Pittsburgh player (Letang did not return to the game). This is boarding and the correct call was made on the ice by the referee to assess a major and game misconduct penalty. Rinaldos fate is now in the hands of the Player Safety Committee but I dont think he has quite entered Matt Cooke circa 2011 territory, although he is certainly moving in that direction. My guess is this incident will fall somewhere in line with Daniel Carcillos recent suspension of six games. The Flyers and Penguins have established an intense modern day rivalry that boiled over in a playoff game in Philadelphia a couple of years ago when Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang engaged in fights with Claude Giroux and Kimmo Timonen during a stoppage in play. This latest incident and game between these two teams has only escalated the hostilities they feel for one another. The next home-and-home meeting between these two teams is on April 1 in Pittsburgh and then back in Philly four days later. Unless Rinaldo is involved in a subsequent incident worthy of suspension prior to those meetings, he will most likely make a statement of sorts in an attempt to change those games as well. Players like Rinaldo, Carcillo, Cooke (circa 2011) and others just see it as their role and responsibility. Cheap Jordan 3 Australia .com) - Jenny Boucek is the new head coach of the Seattle Storm.

His historic four-game clip had the rest of the Yankees feeling good, too. Soriano has put up eye-popping numbers lately, providing the power his teammates were missing to help New York tighten the playoff race. In a four-game span through Friday nights win at Boston, the 37-year-old Soriano went 13 for 18 with five homers and a record-tying 18 RBIs, becoming the sixth player to drive in that many during a stretch of four games. The huge hits are even more than the Yankees hoped for when they got the good-natured Soriano in a late July trade with the Chicago Cubs, bringing him back to the organization where he began his major league career in 1999. "Its fun to watch the way hes adjusted right away," Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano said. "He was in the National League for six years and to come back to the American League and swing the bat the way he is, is unbelievable, especially right when we need him." Soriano became the first player with 18 RBIs in four games since Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa in August 2002. Before that, it was Yankees Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio in 1939. Soriano had two singles in four at-bats Saturday but was held without an RBI during a 6-1 loss to the rival Red Sox. He is 15 for 22 (.682) in his last five games with five homers and nine runs scored. The Yankees acquired Soriano to boost a struggling lineup that was riddled with injuries and looked nothing like last years team that led the majors with 245 homers. At the time of the deal, they were next-to-last in the AL with 88 home runs. With one four-game outburst, however, he had them thinking about what they could accomplish the rest of the way. The Yankees aare chasing a wild-card spot. Air Jordan 3 Retro Australia. With the Cubs, Soriano was on a team that had one of the worst records in the NL. "I was having fun," he said Saturday, sitting at his locker about two hours before the game. "But to come back to the Yankees, its more fun. Its back home and makes me feel more comfortable and happy." The season didnt start well for Soriano. He didnt get his 18th RBI until the 47th game, managing just two in 26 April games. Soriano, who has 397 career home runs, hit .254 with 17 homers and 51 RBIs for the Cubs this year. The seven-time All-Star is batting .329 with eight homers and 26 RBIs for the Yankees. In a 10-3 victory Friday night, he hit a three-run homer and drove in four. It was New Yorks fifth win in six games. "Theyre having fun with him. They probably dont want to see him come out of it, either," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Theyre laughing with him and having fun. Hes got a chance to do some damage. Thats the way the guys been his whole career -- from Day One when we saw him. Hes got a lot of power and that still hasnt changed." Missing injured sluggers Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez for most of the year, the Bronx Bombers limped through much of the season. That is, until Soriano arrived and gave them more power behind Cano. "Of course its a big difference," Cano said. "Now, the last thing the pitcher wants is to face a guy like that. Now you see better pitches. You know the guy behind you is really hot and he can do damage at any time." Soriano is just enjoying the ride as much as his teammates. "Theyre happy to see me do what Im doing," he said. And amazed at what hes done. "Its like hes playing slow-pitch softball," Rodriguez said.
