Andrew Ference waves with one finger now $2500.00 lighter in the wallet

This is bad, you can not do that. When asked about the incident Ference said, “I apologize. That is not part of my repertoire. My glove got caught up there.” I think Ference would be better off just saying I am sorry and leaving it at that...

NEW YORK -- The NHL fined Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference US$2,500 on Friday for making an obscene gesture during a playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Ference was fined for giving Canadiens fans the finger after a goal in the second period during Boston's 5-4 overtime win over Montreal on Thursday night at the Bell Centre.

Ference apologized later and said his finger got stuck in his glove.
No penalty was assessed for the incident.

Andrew Ference gives 20,000 whinny Hab's fans the bird.

So you know this obscene gesture is going to cost Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference some cash... I hear that 2,500.00 is the going rate for such an act, I am sure that Ference can afford it. As a Bruins fans I really can't blame Ference for giving the Habs fans the bird, historically Habs fans are some biggest whiners in the NHL and they remind me of a fan base 350 miles to the south and east of us here in Grand Forks, ND... I mean seriously the Habs fans and booed Zedeno Chara every time he touched the puck, let it go already.

Backes and Ference

Let me preface this with I am a Bruins fan, I also have to admit that admire the way that David Backes plays the game of hockey. Let's look at this hit, its a text book legal shoulder check. Breaking it down further; Backes puts an awesome, legal and violent check on the Bruins Marc Recci, who gets up and skates away. The problem I have is why should Backes have to fight? It wasn't charging, Recci wasn't hurt and it wasn't a dirty hit.
