Bellerina

According to Sportsnet, Mark Bell requires surgery on a broken orbital bone. It seems that when Bell left the ice after the fight, 'twas more than just the cut reported at the time.

Translation: Ryan Malone caved his face in. Yeah, that Ryan Malone.

Seriously.



I wish I could say the team would miss him, but Bell's 4 minutes per game are easily replaced. I was really hoping for big things from Bell when he was acquired, but it doesn't seem like he has any big things left to give.

That's what she said.

There used to be a time - not too long ago in fact - when it was Bell going out breaking orbital bones. Hell, he even scored goals regularly and showed a high upside as a power forward. The Mark Bell that the Leafs acquired last summer is the listless, candy ass Mark Bell that played for the Sharks last season. The gritty, determined, Gordie-Howe-Hat-Trick Mark Bell of the Chicago Blackhawks has withered away.

Rest In Peace, Mark Bell's career.
