I like this item from Steve Simmons' column today in the Toronto Sun. Tell me again why the Russian teenagers were not stopped from drinking underage in Buffalo? How would minor hockey coaches handle behaviour like this from teenagers? Their celebration on the ice was fantastic and appropriate. Their alcohol consumption afterwards was wrong.
Here's what the always excellent Simmons says:
No surprise that the Russian juniors were kicked off their flight Thursday. I happened to be in the bar at the Adams Mark hotel in downtown Buffalo post-game Wednesday night and the young Russians were not exactly being asked to show their ID. I left just before 1:30 a.m. But most of the Russians, still wearing their jerseys, were in the bar, loudly chanting “Beat Canada” in between chugs of something that wasn’t necessarily legal for teenagers ...
