What the hell Matthews?

Here is a quote from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, with author Bob Matthews providing this fun little tidbit.

"Philadelphia star Geoff Snider will be lucky if he escapes a suspension for his antics in Saturday night's loss to Rochester. He deliberately bowled over Knighthawks goaltender Pat O'Toole and then dropped his gloves and chased a Rochester player to instigate another incident while play was under way."

He failed to go on to mention that Shawn Evans crushed Philadelphia goalie Brandon Miller after the incident, an incident that was far more severe. Evans should be more lucky to escape suspension.

I'm not just saying this because Rochester is in Toronto after a game in Denver Thursday. I am saying this because Bob Matthews clearly ignored the Evans hit. He should have mentioned it, it was brutal. However, that doesn't excuse Snider. They should both be suspended. Bob Matthews should keep his bias a little more in check and mention both sides of the story.

You have to wonder what Thomas Hajek was saying to Shawn Evans during their firght.
