The longest day

This has been the longest day ever. I just want to go home and WATCH the BRUINS SLAY THE WHALE!

Okay, over dramatic I know, but it has been a really long day.

Joe Corvo plays for the Hurricanes/Whalers. He is the prick of the universe. He is the only athlete on the planet Earth I honestly want to see suffer a career ending injury. He is scum.

When Ottawa went to the cup finals a couple of years ago I wrote extensively on the old myspace blog about what a piece of shit this guy is. I will reiterate some of the reasons for my distaste here.

This dates back to 2002 when the prick was playing for the Manchester Monarchs. I can't seem to find any actual news stories so we're going to have to go with the very poor reporting method of using second hand sources. Sorry.

This is a copy of a news story that was posted on the US College Hockey Online message board on November 15, 2002:

Saw this item on the Foster's Daily Democrat (Dover, NH) website. Corvo played for WMU from 95-98, and now plays for the Manchester Monarchs.

=============================

BOSTON (AP) — A minor league hockey player from New Hampshire has been charged with punching and kicking a woman in a Boston nightclub.

Joseph Corvo, 25, of Manchester, N.H., was arraigned Wednesday on charges of assault and battery, indecent assault and battery, and assault with a dangerous weapon. He was released on $5,000 bail.

Corvo, who plays for the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, was at Trio’s nightclub early Wednesday morning when he grabbed the buttocks of a 34-year old Boston woman, Suffolk prosecutors said.

Trio’s employees told Corvo to leave the club but he allegedly returned, approached the woman near a bathroom, punched her in the face, then kicked her when she fell to the ground, prosecutors said.

The woman had bruises and swelling on her face and had to be treated at Massachusetts General Hospital, authorities said.

Corvo, of Oak Park, Ill., left the scene but was arrested at another bar a short time later.

Corvo, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound defenseman, is the Monarchs’ leading scorer this season with five goals and 14 points in 12 games. He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 25 for a pretrial conference.

Phone calls to the Monarchs, an affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, were not immediately returned Thursday evening.

What a swell guy, huh? Nice roll model for the kids of New Hampshire (and Los Angeles, and Ottawa, and all of Carolina)

Here's another bit from his wikipedia page.... the fact that there is a Joe Corvo wikipedia page makes me want to vomit:

Corvo was arrested in November 2002 in Boston after he grabbed a 34-year-old woman's buttocks in a restaurant. Restaurant staff told him to leave, but Corvo returned, punched the woman and then kicked her when she fell to the ground, police said. Corvo was given a three-year suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to assault. Corvo was also suspended for three games by the Kings.

A three year suspended sentence for beating the shit out of a woman... big tough athlete that he is... and a three game suspention by the LA Kings (Manchester's parent club).

Read that again... his only punishment for brutally assaulting a woman was a three game suspention. Your justice system at work.

He is lower than scum.

Root for the Bruins to beat the Hurricanes.

Do not root for this piece of shit to advance any further than he has.

Joe Corvo is a prick.

Go Bruins!
