Have another donut !!!!
If you watched Peter Laviolette's third-period meltdown and screaming match with Don Koharski during the Hurricanes' 3-2 overtime win over Florida last night, and if you have any appreciation for hockey history, you had to reminded of the great "Have another donut, you fat pig!" line that former New Jersey Devils (and a few others) coach Jim Schoenfeld lobbed at Koharski in the aftermath of a 6-1 playoff loss to the Bruins in the 1988 playoffs.
Why was Laviolette so mad? And why didn't he at least get a penalty for his tirade? A local guy who runs a Canes blog (Red and Black Hockey) breaks it down very well on his site.
Basically, Koharski screwed up and, in an attempt to correct that screwup, screwed up even more. But hey, at least the Canes won anyway.
