Errors in sports will happen for as long as human beings are involved. Face it, we’re an imperfect species. But when a Boston Bruins player goes arse over tea kettle in front of everyone and a national TV audience, the game of hockey suffers a figurative black eye. Suddenly, the extraordinary effort and leadership of Zdeno Chara who played with a broken jaw–and took a few jabs at it–is minimized and the imperfections of the game are front and center. Also in the daily links, there is a new NHL trade board up but Pittsburgh Penguins winger Phil Kessel isn’t first, and Patrick Marleau seems to recognize he won’t be in Toronto much longer.
