from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
For a real goaltender controversy look south to Florida, where the Panthers are trying to slam the door shut on an incident in which one of their goaltenders, former Leaf Ed Belfour, was admittedly responsible for having their other goaltender, Alexander Auld, taken to the hospital for several stitches over his right eye in the wee hours last Friday.
Belfour is no stranger to wacky incidents involving late nights, early mornings, bars and the police, all of which were present when a night out for a group of Panthers at their hotel on Long Island, N.Y., turned sour. Nor is it unknown for him to have a prickly relationship with the other goaltender on his team.

“This is not unusual, since everyone knows sportswriters do not frequent bars, nor do they keep late hours.”
Everyone? Is this something you learn in school in Canada? And that is just not accurate. Not saying all sportswriters do have a drink or eight after a game, but there are enough to not make a statement like that.
Anyway, who cares if this is a fabricated story to cover-up the real one? Auld has a cut over his eye. Belfour has a past. I’m sure it didn’t go down the way the Panthers organization claims it did, but does it really matter? No one was seriously injured and everyone is apparently getting along.
But let’s look at where this story is coming from… Toronto. The kings of controversy. If they really wanted to make a stink about an opposing team coming into Maple Leaf territory, pick someone a little less obvious to pick on. No one really likes Belfour anyway.
