It's not like Kelly Hrudey is the first hockey player turned broadcaster!
Lots of things happen in a game and are usually left there. How many times
have you seen best of friends get separated by a trade and go at eachother
the next time the teams meet.It's all about fierce competition and being
professional enough to understand players get lost in passion.

I remember Mcsorely pushing ,shoving,throwing his weight around and being a
pain in the ass to the oilers when he was a L.A king. Yet, after a game at
Northlands several kings including Mcsorely were out dining with a few
oilers later that evening. There seemed to be no animosity whatsoever as
they had a great time.
