eel's beef with a rival carried out this season has a twist - it's with his old teammate binko koivu @goldenglutes about a call dispute from last season, when the two were teammates!!! binko and eel used to play together (hockey style and sometimes other styles). typically they agree on referee calls since if a call went in atlanta's favoUr they would both like it and if a call went against atlanta they would both dislike it. however in one particular game vs hamilton steelhakws last season there was a play on which they disagreed, not so much a referee call but an official scorer call. philippe eko eel fired a shot from the point and it whipped past binko koivu and went into the net. binko koivu got credit for the goal and he swears he tipped the puck with his sick but philippe eko eel had the best vantage point and he is sure that binko did not tip the puck at all and therefore the goal should belong to philippe eko eel. the official scorer may have cost philippe eko eel a stevens trophy because of this!!! and now that they are on different teams, philippe eko eel and binko koivu are arguing about this tip/not tip excessively!
