Former San Jose Sharks tough guy Link Gaetz has been suspended for the remainder of the season.

Of course, Gaetz being suspended is certainly one of those things that never change, but what I'm referring to is this paragraph:

...Last Sunday Thetford Mines had a game against the Verdun Dragons. Gaetz didn't have a shift all game and in between the second and third periods he was seen, without his jersey and without skates on, at a concession stand where he ordered a cheeseburger and promptly ate it. He returned to the bench for the third period.

See, in addition to having been with the Sharks, The Linkster was also a member of the (very) short-lived San Francisco Spiders. I have a very vivid memory of him sitting in the stands inhaling hot dog after hot dog and malted after malted (while he was meant to be getting game fit so he could actually play for the Spiders). And he'd scarf this food while sitting just a few feet from the Spiders bench, where coach Jean Perron could see him NOT GETTING FIT.

The Spiders sent him packing not long after this (not just because of the not getting fit part...there was a rather unfortunate incident that hastened his departure).
