Now this is not a post complaining about Florida as much as it is about hockey.
The point i want to convey, is that i think being in Tampa, has caused serious brain damage to one of the leagues good players. Vincent Lecavalier. Don't get me wrong he is still a very good player, i just don't think he still has all the brain cells he left montreal with. Otherwise, he would have realized that the smart thing to do is not to try and pick a fight with a giant.
The incident i am referring to occured during game 3 of the Ottawa Tampa playoff series. Near the end of the game, 2:17 left in the 3rd period to be exact, all hell broke loose. Chris Neil, was being Chris Neil, and set into motion an unavoidable effect, a full out brawl. Some of the matchups were evenly matched, Pratt vs. Heatley, Verada and whoever was hitting him from behind, but the matchup that gets me is when Lecavalier thought it smart to take on Big Chara.
For those of you who saw this, it was an impressive thing. Chara threw 2 lefts at Lecavalier's head, then threw him to the ground, and held his fist ready to kill him. But Chara held back, he knew he won, and didn't see it necessary to injure Lecavalier. Lecavalier is by no means a small or weak player, he is in my opinion one of the toughest players out there, I remember him going toe to toe with Inginla a few years ago in one of the best hockey fights i have seen. But he was simply outsized against Chara.
You knew it right away, when Lecavalier hit the ground and rushed to cover his head for protection.
This is my reasoning, why the Tampa sun is causing brain damage to our great Canadian hockey players.

Y'aurait pu en manger une )/&$)("&?/)$ si Chara s'était pas retenu. Bien chanceux que celui-ci ait réfléchi avant de le snapper car Lecavalier aurait eu un méchant face lift.
face lift, c'est leger comme comparaison. C'etait juste tres impressionnant de voir Chara mettre lecavalier par terre aussi facilement.
