I haven't liked Bootland since I went to the Phantoms game about a month ago when him and Downie were talking 10 feet away from me, Downie dropped his gloves, and Bootland skated away. I understand there are times when it's better not to fight but don't have someone drop their gloves before you finally decide you don't want to. Holy crap, there is about 6 minutes left in the 2nd period of the Portland vs Bridgeport game and I didn't even notice Bootland was on Portland! I guess that shows how observant I am!
