Some may surprise why others will jog your memory as to what happened to allow them to be on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Some are there due to their unseemly behavior on the ice. Others are included for some questionable conduct off the ice.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we just barely got done with the list when our remote broadcast equipment decided it didn&#8217;t want us to finish the last hour of the show. Our apologies.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll try to make it up to our loyal fans next week.
