This guy have serious issues, very strange he always manage to find a new team everytime he gets the boot from his perious one.
He got some scoring touch, too bad for himself that he goes crazy like this so often.

exactly what did he do this time?

Cross checked some guy right in the face. Had to have been pretty blatant although with his history the ref probably had an eye on him.

They also said that he was "show-boating" after he laid the guy out (KO'd him I heard?). I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not?

Jeez. When will this guy learn? Is he really that big of an airhead or is there some hidden motive behind all of his stupidity?

Billy Tibbetts is a bit of a loose cannon, he did three years in a Pennsylvanian state fac. He could play a little in junior but has since lost his head. He's a liability on the ice and not worth having on your team. I'd get rid of him somehow.

Yes he showboats too, he did not however when Tod Fedoruk beat his ass like a rented mule a few years ago..Seems as though we have ourselves a cheapist in the midst.
