Hockey Puck.....

I'm which you. I don't follow NHL Hockey, at all, I don't care for the mobile brawl that they pass off as sport. I do love watching Olympic Hockey, though.

Speaking of Olympics....2 months away. Yeehaw, can't wait.

a19,

So what exactly is the NHL aiming for? I've thought for some time that they could clean up the over-the-top violence fast if they were serious about protecting the sport. The cheap shot nonsense just isn't part of the game (which is admittedly rough without the sucker punch mentality factored in).

I guess each league/sport has its flaws. The NBA protects its stars too much. The NFL has guys using cell phones to call home from the end zone after scoring a TD. And MLB needs to get rid of that ridiculous hill in centerfield in Houston.

There, I feel better now. <G>
