Coyotes beat Ottawa in the lone NHL game tonight by scoring on 5 out of their 15 shots (!!!). Senators put up 43 shots but managed to lose 5-3.

Lawson Crouse had a hat trick with even strength, powerplay and shorthanded goals.

Missed a couple posts from February. The irony of whining about people being bitches is not lost on me!

And now the rest of the story on this incident:

The Vancouver Canucks must pay former hockey player Mike...

he Vancouver Canucks must pay former hockey player Mike Robitaille the $347,840 in damages awarded him in 1979 for injuries he received after being asked to play with an injured back, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Friday.

In a unanimous decision, the appeal court also ordered the Vancouver Hockey Club Ltd. to pay 100 percent, and not 80 percent as the B.C. Supreme Court had ruled, of $35,000 in exemplary damages awarded the 32-year-old former defenseman, who now lives in Buffalo.

In dismissing the club's appeal, Nemetz and two other appeal court judges upheld the trial court's finding that the club was 'in breach of its duty to exercise reasonable care' to ensure the player's safety.

In the original judgement, the court awarded Robitaille $435,000, including $35,000 in exemplary damages, but held the player 20 percent responsible for his own injuries.

Friday's decision increased Robitaille's award by $7,000 to $355,000. The full amount had been paid into court pending the appeal verdict. The Canucks had yet to decide whether they would continue the appeal procedure.

The former hockey player was pleased with the decision but was most anxious to collect his money.
