I think Bordy needs to be careful who he chats with post game, if they're going to quote him in articles like this....

This is what I ripped out of the code when the page loaded, I believe it its the full article....
The injuries are a major source of frustration for Thompson, who has criticised officiating in three recent matches.
At Cardiff, Thompson said Guillaume Desbiens was interfered with off the puck as he tried to close down a Cardiff scorer.“It should have been a minor penalty. I don’t know what the referee isn’t looking at.”
He was also bewildered that a goal judge was able to sprint to the timekeeper’s box to influence the disallowing of a Steelers goal.
“That’s another new one, because in Edinburgh the other day the goal judge banged the glass and said to one of our players: ‘Go and get the referee, that didn’t go in.’ So we went and told the referee and the he still gave the goal he didn’t even confront the goal judge. “Levi Nelson gets cross checked to the face, (by Haddad) he gets five or six stitches in his lip, he’s in a bundle in the corner, they get a six on five they score from that, that’s not called. We start thinking crikey it is not going to be our day.”After Sunday’s defeat, Thompson was approached by Cardiff’s ex NHLer Patrick Borderleau, who said he’d never witnessed refereeing like it.However, Thompson accepts his own team, while performing well despite injury absences, has some disciplinary issues.
“Frustration gets to Dessy (Desbiens) and we have got to be better there. We know that; he gets thrown out of the game, so we are three centremen down. The Fitzy (Zack Fitzgerld) takes a stupid penalty at the end of the game...”*Steelers have confirmed they are “tying up some loose ends” in their attempt to bring defenceman Jace Coyle back to Sheffield.

Body could have been referring to anything though..... unless he skated over and went "two of our goals should never have been given as they were clear penalties. I've seen refereeing like it!". Could have been referring to Fitzy getting away with punching Lord first and then repeatedly Hotham. He could have been referring to the slash that he took off the play. Absolutely anything. The game is one for the history books now. Bottom line for me is that we took 4 points this weekend whilst not being at our best. Finding a way to win is key to winning any championship. I'm hoping we've done that. Nice one boys.
firstly, while you believe he made a statement last night with his displeasure. the truth is very much different, in fact he made a point of tweeting a Devils fan today to make the very point that him not fighting was the right call last night as we won the game.
I also don't remember many infractions from Fitzgerald once Bordy had the quiet word with him after the Hotham Scuffle. Maybe his little chat worked? thats enforcing for me, not dropping your mits every 60 minutes.
Fitzgerald pushed Bordeleau once he entered the ice and also Fitzy cross checked Myers 8 times after being 'told off'. Fitzy was well up for a fight with Bordy, make no mistake. As it goes Fitzys behaviour cost them the game and Bordy did the right thing ( not out of his choice as I am sure he would have wanted to give Fitzy the fight he wanted)
It's standard practice to write into a sports persons contract clauses that include how and what you comment publicly on social media etc about the club.
So no l believe in game actions tell more truth than public statements.
I keep repeating this, lm not a fan of fighting. The Devils brought in a fighter, not for his scoring abilities. I know some feel his presence is a deterrent, this game though proved his is not.

That's not true. It's desirable but not standard. I'm guessing you don't know for a fact but are speculating in very much the same way I am (albeit my speculation is with experience).
I'm wondering when this topic will come to a natural end and be locked. The usual happens.... game ends, decent debate and differing opinions emerge on the interpretation of the fame, then we hone in on a player or Coach and then we target the poster for a finale. Can't imagine it'll be open long.
