Leafs @ Flames - Oct. 30th, 8:00pm - TSN, TSN 1050

One thing I wanted to emntion and, not sure if anyone else saw it, but when McGratten had his gloves off in the penalty box after his meaningless fight with McLaren, I noticed he had his wedding ring on.  Aside from the fact that I'd be scared to lose it, I don't think he should be wearing jewelery while doing that line of work.  I'm sure that a rule exists that prohibits tape or, I don't know, razor blades, from being on a players hands.  But shouldn't they make sure this rule is extended to jewelery and - ahem - enforced?

I'm guessing that sort of thing would be met with some pretty vocal opposition from the NHLPWA.

I'm sure it would.  But I guess if my face were getting bashed in by Brian McGrattan's knuckles, I'd prefer if it was only the bone doing the damage and not some alloy.

"Yeah, honey, there's this new rule that says I can't wear my wedding ring during games. Yeah, I know, and the strangest thing is that apparently it also applies to the bar in the lobby of the hotel..."

My freaking softball league does not allow jewellery of any kind. So it doesn't seem that crazy to me that nhl players shouldn't wear jewellery. Not that I really care either way.

Bingo

For the people saying the Leafs kept most of the chances to the outside...

Just to make things crystal clear, the post you're responding to is a joke about how players cheat on their wives on the road, not an argument for keeping wedding rings on player's hands.

Yeah you'd think I'd be quicker on the uptake. But I'm really slipping as I'm aging.
