Here's a local boy-Jon Mirasty-getting it on in the Quebec league with a behemouth. Just watched D.J. King go with Derek Booguard he had a good tilt. Both those guys are pretty easy going off the ice but I wouldn't want to try them on it. Rumour has it that Mirasty and Bosse got a UFC contract-kind of an odd twist but probably pays better than the league they play in.
 
Contrary to some folks inability to comprehend what I have previously stated concerning fighting/violence in Hockey, I see nothing wrong with two guys dropping their sticks.......squaring off and going to it fair and square. Both players have the choice of whether to participate or not.

In fact, if I was a Hockey fan I would support this type scenario too. If not for this, there might not be anymore Pro Hockey. This is obviously what the fans want. :???:

The cowardly "Cheap Shots" to the head that have been so evident in the past 2-3 weeks is what I see to be an example of the lack of character and respect for the opponent.

Wonder why most of the hightlight clips in Hockey show the fights instead of the actual athleticism?
 
What hockey highlights do you watch!!! If a little sothern belle searches frantically for blackmarks on the game that's what they'll find. I've made a bunch of posts about great hockey and you chose not to reply to them with your infinite wisdom. Quit being such a hypocrit princess. You have no comprehension at all of the sport so why comment on it. Hockey fans enjoy ALL aspects of the game-we just don't cry in our mint tea when it gets a bit rough.
 
The problem is outlets like ESPN tend to highlight the fights more than the game sometimes NR.. It is a shame.. If there is a brawl in a baseball game, or someone just charges the mound and it doesn't escalate it is shown 20 times compared to the 1 time for a nice throw deep out of the hole by the shortstop. Maybe it is the carwreck mentality of not being able to turn away from things like that or maybe it is something else.. I don't know.. there are probably 5-10 just amazing things that happen in almost every hockey game. Yeah, some get a bit ugly but so do football games in the snow and mud that people refer to as classics that are really bad footbal... No big deal...

Just like every sport there are aspects that need to be cleaned up a bit and I still say (even though I am not a huge hockey follower like these crazy canucks :lol:) Hockey does a better job than any other sport at policing itself. The players accept the discipline.. In general I would rather have my son or daughter play hockey and act like a hockey player than any of the other major sports. Whiny baseball players, thugs in basketball and football. Arrests, beanball wars, throwing bats at other players/umps, swinging a helmet as a weapn (And only getting a once game suspension :evil: :twisted: ) shooting guns off outside a strip club at 3 am, I mean come on Mike... Lot more to focus on than just Hockey.. Northern could probably spend hours concentrating just on ACC or SEC football and fine worse stuff, actuall, just focus on the Univeristy of Miami and he could find worse.

Hockey is a contact sport so in essence there is some violence.. So is football so there will be some there. Hockey would not be the same game if not for the checks against the glass and stuff like that.. I doubt many would watch football if it was two hand touch or flag. You want to see hypocrits.. watch NFL highlights... They promote the violence, spearing, crushing hits but than they fine players for doing the same thing.. Very strange to this camper.

I have to add my two cents worth here and say look how rough professional basketball is.. It should be a no contact sport...

On or off the court? Did you read about the class of fans who showed up in Las Vegas in droves for the Allstar game?

Gangsta rappers and thugs...................................

At least Hockey hopefully doesn't have THAT following.
