Sorry, I like "oldtime" hockey......  |
Sweet!!! another fan of REAL hockey!!! I couldn't agree more. Helmets do nothing but create more high sticking penalties because it promotes carelessness with sticks. And while you are at it, allow fighting again. No better way to protect your star players than to give them a bodyguard. Besides the fact that there is nothing like an old school hockey fight to watch.
And dont get me started on how salary caps have ruined pro sports. Turned them all in to watered down pieces of crap. Parity by definition is average. Average is boring. Average sucks.
