Esrever ni klat s'tel.

Four days later, even people who don't really watch the Bruins are still talking about it.

Randy Jones earned only a two-game suspension. The heck?

It was announced post-game that Patrice has a concussion and a broken nose, and, amazingly, nothing else immediately appears to be wrong. Though time will tell. And concussions can suck.

Jones issued an apology during the game, read by Rob Simpson. So you knew he knew he did wrong.

It took fifteen minutes that seemed like more to stabilize Patrice, cutting away part of his pads and uniform, and get him off the ice. That "I'm okay" wave you were hoping for through the applause didn't come.

So Saturday afternoon Philadelphia Flyer Randy Jones clocked Patrice Bergeron, sending him face-first into the boards. If you saw the game, you saw Patrice go unconscious. It was beyond disturbing. Paul Kariya, Steve Moore, Patrice. I'm set with that. I never want to see someone pass out on the ice again.
