Sounds like a great time Darth. Are there many fights in the ECHL?

We have an OHL (Ontario Hockey League) team here called the Windsor Spitfires. It's been a number of years since I've been to a game. The fighting started to get out of hand, IMO.

For sure. I usually see a couple fights per game. I love the fights which is odd because I hate boxing. I also hate it when I see guys using their sticks or making dirty hits...

I remember the Windsor Spitfire from my days in Michigan...

I don't have a problem with some fighting, within the context of the game. But the last game that I went to, it was with my wife (girlfriend at the time) and it was just rediculous. Every time the puck was dropped, the gloves would come off and everyone on the ice would square off. The third period was insane.

The saying "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out" is unfortunately all too true in a lot of cases. It gives the game a black eye (literally and figuratively), IMO.

Yeah, they certainly over do it at times with the fisticuffs. I also don't like it when the team sends it's goon out to mess with a skill player.

If I miss the hockey playoffs I have nobody to blame but myself for making dumb game day calls. I rarely get a shutout, and the goalie I benched (for fear of losing other cats) is 6 minutes away from a shutout. This isn't the first time I've done that. When I decide to play a guy in a close contest, he gives up 5 goals.

It's only one point, but they are adding up.

Yea!

My benched goalie gave up a goal with 44 seconds left in the game. LMAO. So I didn't lose anything. In fact, I would have been mad had I played him...

My cousin works the concessions at Spits games. I love the fighting, although I haven't been to a game in several years.

Junior Hockey is a nice cheap night out. Way better than watching the ~~Darth~~ Boob Tube.

Can't you just once try to make your point without taking a cheap shot at me????

OK...enough NHL. I was thinking of some shots to take at Roscoe & Jammer. I was going to tell them that the U.S. and Canada are the only two bordering countries (to my knowledge) never to have engaged in battle. I was going to say that they were trying hard to change that. But then it occurred to me...Does Canada even have an army? Seroiusly? I guess they don't need one because basically, you hit them, you hit us...but do they? Pardon my ignorance...
