It's clear from instant replay and electronics use in US football and hockey
Man oh man.. I so want Bettman's head on stick. And I so want Ron MacLean to put it there. Please, please will everyone south of 49' just go back to ignoring hockey so we can play it correctly? (exceptions will be made for those in Boston, Detroit, and Hartford)
The drive for safer fencing was prompted by the 1982 tournament death of the Soviet champion Vladimir Smirnov. During an encounter at the Rome World Championships, a blade broke and penetrated Smirnov's mask, mortally wounding him. It remains one of fencing's few tragedies, notable in part because it was so exceptional, and it galvanized the world fencing community to adopt higher standards for equipment.
In a related story - fencing is fun, safe, and you should try it (choose foil though - it's the thinking man's weapon:)
It's 3 days of hard driving from St. John's to TO (I'm talking 12 hours per day here) plus your choice of a 6 or 14 hour ferry ride (depending on where you get it from) through Newfoundland waters.... in the middle of march...
On a windy day that kinda punishment can make an air canada strip search look pretty attractive in comparison.
As to cost... the difference is probably less than 200$... well worth it to avoid the inevitable holdups when dealing with the weather, marine atlantic and newfoundland driving in March.
Canadians, particularly those of us down east where Air Canada is pretty much the only game in town, are very well aware of the problems at that airline. However, it seems to me that Mr. Mann must not have been completely co-operative with security personnel in St. John's. I find it hard to believe that they would have gone to these lengths without some kind of a reason.
