He Said She Said

Got to love hearing this. Nothing sparks a good rivalry like good old fashion trash talking. On a local Chicago radio station Dave Bolland was heard taking some shots at the Sedin twins. When asked about the all star duo he simply referred to them as the Sedin "sisters" followed by some good laughs. When asked if it was just the "sisters" he hated or it was the the whole team Bolland replied with " I hate them all". Sounds like some pretty fair trash talking that should make there next game on Jan 31st pretty good (hint hint). But these words did not sit to well with Alain Vigneault head coach of those very "sisters" Bolland was refering to. Vigneault came back with this when he got word of the comment, "When you have comments like Bolland's, he's obviously an individual whose IQ is probably the size of a bird seed, and has the face only a mother can look at". Oh yea! Not even a face a mother can love! Only look at. This is good stuff we have developing here. So obviously Bolland came back with his I'm sorry speach saying it was all in good fun and he respects both the team and the Sedins. Coach Vigneault went on to say "You're talking about two players who play with integrity, they play the right way, that are great examples of everything this games stands for" (I could not agree more) he goes on to say "And then you have a birdseed like that making comments, lucky his mother loves him." Not once but twice this man mentions Bollands birdseed brain and the loving Mrs. Bolland. Vigneault finished with "I think it's a bad reflection for himself, the image an NHL player tries to portray," Vigneault said. "In my mind, such a classy organization like Chicago, I'm sure they're not too happy about that. I'm sure the NHL isn't too happy about that. We're not talking about junior league here or bush league, we're talking about (the) NHL, where they have professional players where they get involved in community and society. We all do a hard line of work and they do it the best way they can and to have guys like this trying to act like comedians, that's just not the right thing to do." And what image are you setting there Vigneault, wouldn't it be better to turn the other cheek and show how your above this? Just as guilty and to be frank, "Get over it", the guy called two brothers, "sisters", he just happens to play for one of your biggest playoff rivals to date. I mean is it the playoffs yet? Can't wait.
