Here is a small snippet (in relation to the Trashers) of what was played for Judge Burns by the prosecutors in the United States of America vs James Galante yesterday:

Prosecutors played a tape of a call in which they say Galante tells an associate to pressure league officials to get the referee, James Harper, to change his account of what happened. They also played a tape of a call between the associate and the hockey league president, Richard Brosal.

"I'm on instructions this morning," the associate says. "He wanted me to impress upon you how important it is to get that letter from Mr. Harper."

"That letter will be faxed first thing Monday," Brosal says. "It will say what we need it to say."

In an interview, Brosal denied trying to pressure the referee. He said the referee had already indicated he didn't want to press charges.

Hopefully this trial will air as much dirty laundry as possible regarding the way Brosal runs the UHL. With any luck it will be so bad the Board of Governors will send Brosal packing.

Get over it, you're not in the league anymore, what do you care what happens. Bitter and hateful, what a combo!

I am a paid reporter for a major Connecticut daily for 11 years. Until recently I was a paid beat writer covering the Trashers. I have seen first hand the havoc Galante's greed has caused. You sir are a fan...no more no less. You are an outsider looking in. Your comments to me are not only off base but are born of ignorance. Telling someone to "get over it" and calling them "bitter" when you have not a clue how this effected me personally and financially smacks of adolescence. I will have you know I lose over $300 per game night because of his mob actions. Perhaps one day when you move out of mommy and daddy's house, find a job (not counting Burger King) and have to struggle making a solid buck and a few extra and you lose a nice chunk of that because of someone's actions, you might be bitter as well. Since you will be living with mommy and daddy for the foreseeable future I guess we won't see you "bitter" anytime soon.

PS: It takes courage and conviction to formulate your own threads and put one's heart out for all to read. You never formulate a new thread. Why? Poor writer? Unable to coherently formulate your own thought(s) on a given topic? Only able to toss in your two cents after the fact? You simply sit at mommy and daddy's computer in mommy and daddy's house passing judgment on my threads. You need a life so bad. When you start a few of your own threads, get a real job and move out from under mommy and daddy's roof then come back to me. Until then SHUT THE F*** up!
