from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
...If Chiarelli or anyone else want to skew that view to suggest I said Bergeron is “guilty” of something, well, that’s just not right.
I rarely, if ever, buy into the victim as the guilty party mentality that pervades society, not just the NHL. The victim is the victim. The perpetrator is the perpetrator.
My only point is that in the pantheon of NHL indiscretions, Jones’ act – not necessarily the consequences of it – falls into the middle of the road. Can you separate the two – the act and the consequences?

What I saw was the writer from the Globe calling out McKenzie by name. The quote from Chiarelli in this second link refers to a lot of Canadian commentaries, but it’s Shinzawa, the Globe reporter who mentions McKenzie and Cherry. Now, if McKenzie has inside information about whether those allusions could be referring to him, I’m not inclined to argue with him. But he, and you, are making inferences.

Fluto (the Globe writer) seemed to use Don Cherry and McKenzie as examples. Quoting the article: “Chiarelli didn’t single out names, but two of hockey’s most significant observers have commented on the play.” Chiarelli didn’t name names, but Fluto did. McKenzie seems to have misread what Fluto meant.
Perhaps McKenzie should have read the New England Hockey Journal article about it, where his name wasn’t mentioned.

Hmmm…I just went and read the <a>href=“http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/articles/2007/11/03/bergeron_taking_hits_off_the_ice/”>article </a> in the Boston Globe today quoting Chiarelli.
Maybe McKenzie should have actually read what Chiarelli said before lighting into him.
