Mair Fined for Thinking Everything's a Joke!!!

UPDATE from yesterday's post of the video featuring Adam Mair mouthing off to whomever would listen (it was presumeably Jarkko Ruutu and Luke Richardson), calling everyone a "joke."

According to TSN.com, the NHL looked into the situation and fined Mair the maximum amount allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement - $2,500. That's a seriously expensive "joke!"

Supposedly, Mair headed toward the Senators dressing room, but was stopped by Senators Richardson and Ruutu and vice president of communications Phil Legault at which time he began his rant that was caught on tape (and it now posted to YouTube - I told you it wasn't too smart)!!

YAHOO!'s Puck Daddy also has parts of an interesting interview he gave the media after practice yesterday:
When asked what he was trying to communicate to the Senators, he said, "We don't play those guys until January, so I wanted to wish them a Happy Halloween."
What did they say back?
"I think they said Merry Christmas."
The Buffalo News' John Vogl asked if Mair was trying to talk to Chris Neil or Jaarko [Jarkko] Ruutu?
"It's Halloween for everybody, John."
Click HERE for a video of the entire media interview (it appears that Mair is still having the last laugh!)!
