Every week someone in the NHL does something so stupid it deserves comment. This week we hit the jackpot. Three members of the NHL community did themselves proud in the "I'm an idiot" category.

Bobby Clarke-You have to give the Flyer exec points for his loyalty in defending Steve Downie. But really! Downie left his feet to catapult into Ottawa's Dean McAmmond earlier in the year garnering a 20-game suspension, and this past week he sucker punched Toronto's Jason Blake. This is not the kind of player you go to bat for, Bobby.

Mats Sundin-There is no question the Toronto captain bleeds Maple Leaf blue. But if he really wants to help the franchise, he should waive his no-trade clause so that the team can trade him for some prospects. Then he can re-sign with Toronto in the off-season. Can somebody show the big Swede the sense in this approach?

Ray Emery-Just when it looked as if he finally earned a little of coach John Paddock's respect by working hard in practice and winning his last two starts, the bonehead goalie gets into a fight during practice with good friend Brian McGratton. Does this guy know how to self destruct or what?

I can hardly wait for next week!
