NHL rule changes

[Minute Mirage]

I'm not so sure about removing the two line pass. In my experience it has lead to the defensemen giving up the blue line more easily and dropping back all the way to their own blue line so as not to allow any breakaways. I remember watching the World Cup and hearing some commentators here advocating bringing back the two line pass.

I grew up in the West Island (Kirkland). My parents now live in Lachine, and I'm in the US (Baltimore) doing graduate work.

Fighting is part of the game. It's a rough sport. Go watch football if you want to see a bunch of pussies on a field doing ballet.

$10 says most American football players could kick the crap out of any hockey player .

I'd love to see any hockey player try to go one on one with Ray Lewis.

Gee, let's make bets that can't possibly be tested...

[KrazyHorse]

Football is a pansy sport. Football players are fake tough. Most of them are fat, stupid bastards.

That's why the sport fits the American psyche so well.

Nevertheless, the football players would beat down the hockey players. They are faster, more muscular, and they have more crazy black people... and if you've watched boxing.. .

[KrazyHorse]

Crazy black people?



Yet another thing I see so much of down here. White people (and, seems like brown people too) are so ****ing convinced that blacks are tough and strong that they **** themselves when a black dude looks at them funny.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You haven't followed American football much have you?

I assure you, there are a LOT of crazy black guys in the league. Ray Lewis, who I mentioned, is a good example. Hell, he may have killed someone (but was found innocent).

And when you weight 250+ pounds of solid muscle and look like you are going to tear someone's eyes out... that IS freaking scary.

Crazy black dude!

Screaming and flexing doesn't make you crazy tough.

It makes you fake tough.

No, but stabbing a guy to death does...

Stabbing? The guy was so pathetic he couldn't use his BARE HANDS?

A child can stab someone to death.

I always hated hockey because of the fact that referees automatically turned into boxing referees when a fight broke out, instead of breaking it up.

I constantly found myself thinking "am I the only one here who came to see the GAME?"

Any sport that emphasizes fighting (which isn't a fighting sport) is quite pointless...it marginalizes the sport itself.


After all, why would you want to risk one of your players getting hurt?
To prepetuate some Canadian "i'm a brainless thug" mentality? "Yeah, we lost the game because our player got too hurt to play, but he really kicked ass!"

If you want to fight, get into boxing, fighting has nothing to do with the game of hockey.

And if you say it does, then you are admitting that the game is pointless beyond the violent aspect of it.

These same "tough guys" would wilt in the pro boxing game.

and that is the rest of the story.

[Drake Tungsten]

They have to emphasize the fighting because no one wants to watch the actual game of hockey. It's totally gay...

am I the only one here who came to see the GAME?

Yes. Everyone else is there to drink beer and watch some white trash Canucks beat the **** out of each other.
