Will Bryan McCabe continue to be cheeky? Or, will ge be forced to butt out? When the NHL outlawed his trademark can-opener move in the fall of 2002, McCabe reverted to a backup signature check, one teammates dubbed "the double cheek" and "the flying ass." McCabe deployed the manoeuvre often, squashing oncoming forwards into the boards with his butt. And it was all legal. But now that the league again is vowing to crack down completely on obstruction, the Maple Leafs defenceman wonders which tactics will sneak under the radar screens of NHL referees.
