VERITAS: FUMBLE - IF YOU'RE NOT COMMENTING, DON'T, UH, COMMENT

This week's perspective from Bob Reid:

Lots of debate throughout the NHL about head shots in hockey, after Marc Savard of the Boston Bruins got clocked by Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke last Sunday night, suffering what’s known as a Grade 2 concussion. Among those commenting was Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Dion Phaneuf – despite supposedly not commenting. “It’s disappointing when stuff like that isn’t called, but the league takes care of that off the ice. It’s clear (Cooke) went for (Savard’s) head, but it’s not for us to comment on.” Hey Dion, here’s a little tip: if you’re not going to comment, then don’t. Talk about the issue in general (as he did elsewhere in his quotes), but leave the specifics as to the blow-by-blow out of it.
