      <title>Ballard whoops Crosby.</title>

Crosby while a great player acts like a spoiled toddler that has had his pacifier taken away from him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also sick and tired of seeing hockey players go after the opposition after they have recieved a legal body check or one of their teammates have been hit by a legal check. Grow the hell up and be a man, your part of the ice. This is unacceptable, If you don&amp;#39;t like to get hit play tennis. There is no rule that you can&amp;#39;t hit a teams star player.&lt;img src=&quot;http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/20376347-5102722189135058752?l=ndgoon.blogspot.com&quot; /&gt;</description>

      <title>Keith Ballard vs Chuck Kobasew</title>
      <description>&lt;object height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ptlO2uUfuPw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ptlO2uUfuPw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing like a fight between a former Minnesota Gopher and a Boston College Eagle. Kobasew isn&amp;#39;t really know for his fighting skills but took exception with Ballard&amp;#39;s low hit and held his own against a pretty tough hockey player like &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>At Least Giroux Lit the Lamp</title>
      <description>It wasn&amp;#39;t pretty last night in Sunrise, with the Flyers losing their first game after a long break to start the unofficial second half of the season. After starting strong, they got outworked for stretches of the game, and a late flurry wasn&amp;#39;t quite enough to come back from a two-goal deficit. ...</description>

      <title>Goon's dad likes Air Force.</title>
      <description>My father can&amp;#39;t get his google account to work but wanted to post this on Air Force.&lt;br /&gt;You would have swore he has been reading LGM&amp;#39;s posts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goonster:&lt;/strong&gt; Of course the &lt;a href=&quot;/content/school/328&quot;&gt;Air Force Falcons&lt;/a&gt; are good as they have two Baudette hockey players on their roster, Brett Nylander and Brent Olson.  Brent&amp;#39;s brother Derek also played four years for Air Force. I thought Derek was a better hockey player in high school.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;They hale from the same high school that &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard&lt;/a&gt; played for, who just signed a big new contract this fall with the &lt;a href=&quot;/content/team/104&quot;&gt;Florida Panthers&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>The Coyotes improve their home record to 4-2 with their decisive win over the Panthers Saturday night.

      <title>Ballard Signs For Six Years</title>
      <description>The pieces are falling into place, just like most Florida Panther fans had expected. &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard&lt;/a&gt;, recently traded to the &lt;a href=&quot;/content/team/104&quot;&gt;Florida Panthers&lt;/a&gt; in a very controversial trade on GM Jacques Martin&amp;#39;s part, for &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/5093&quot;&gt;Olli Jokinen.&lt;/a&gt; The dollar amount for the contract is uncertain at the moment, but it has indeed gone down.</description>

      <title>Florida, Righting The Ship?</title>

      <title>Keith Ballard's Contract Details</title>
      <description>The details of &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#39;s contract came out yesterday afternoon and it looks like his two-year deal is worth $4 million and he will again be a restricted free agent when the contract expires.

Both sides took their time to explore options and according to &lt;a href=&quot;/content/team/120&quot;&gt;Phoenix Coyotes&lt;/a&gt; General Manager Don Maloney, the negotiations were never contentious.

However, how does his deal measure up to other defensemen in his age group and experience?</description>

      <title>Keith Ballard Re-Signs with the Coyotes</title>
      <description>The Phoenix Coyotes today signed defenseman &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard&lt;/a&gt; to a two-year contract. As of right now, the financial terms are not disclosed.

The re-signing of &lt;a href=&quot;/content/player/4827&quot;&gt;Keith Ballard&lt;/a&gt; is significant for the Coyotes as he is one of those players that other teams covet, the kind who will work hard for a team each and every night. Every team needs them and I&amp;#39;m glad he will return.

I just wonder why it took so long.</description>
