Jim - you are right, I have been thinking that I owe Antoine an apology. From
everything I read after posting that message, the Fleet Center "fans" went way
beyond the pale. If even Peter May and Bob Ryan are defending him, there must
ahve been some ugly shit going down. So I retract my statement (although I
still think it's tough to justify a man with his size and talent doring so
poorly on the boards and in other aspects of the game).

That's just stupid.
