He'd also like to put you behind the wheel of a brand new car...

"I never held any intentional premeditation that there was going to be a fight. Sometimes, it happened. What I see today is different than that. I would prefer today, with the way the game has gone, to see fighting completely eliminated.

“I think most fights – 90 per cent – add nothing to the game and in fact, they take away from the beauty of the game."

I'll take his comments with a grain of salt.

I'm all for elimination of the goon and I think that staged fights are absolutely ridiculous/pathetic. I don't have an educated stance on why fighting should remain in the game of hockey.....nevertheless, it's how I feel. I want fighting to remain in hockey, but not because of a clean check or because of a "job to do". I'm also not really sure how to obtain the scenario I posed above.

So I'm useless, but there's my two cents.

Also, I feel like Spinderella should be brought up in this thread.....so there's that.

I'm taking the Thornton Melon approach to looking good which is the following:

If you want to look skinny, hang out with a bunch of fat people.

I'm just glad some in the hockey community are starting to see fighting as a sin. Amen.

look I like fighting in teh game. I like it a lot but what is happening mostly is staged stuff. I mean you listen to some of the fighters talk about how anxious they get becuase they will be fighting so and so the next game and you have to think taht its a little crazy that its already being planned. its like the unwritten code. they do it because they need to to keep a job. before it was because he was part of a bad play or bad hit etc... now its just to fight which I dont think needs a place in hockey. getting rid of fighting wont solve anything. getting rid of the staged fights will help alot.

Pepper lyrics!


Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes

I think you need to read a little deeper into my post. ;) I'm not really a religious person.
