I was going to open up this piece by saying that there is some controversy happening here in Canada regarding Ice Hockey fisticuffs. A recent minor league hockey game featured a prize-winning fight involving the son of Montreal Canadians great (goaltender) Patrick Roy. The problem with my introduction would be by simple fact that every year there is renewed argument about that important part of the world's greatest team sport.I'm tired of watching an NHL (National Hockey League) game -- and I do not watch many of them -- and before you can say "what's up, Doc?", there is a match of knuckles between two players. (It would be like sitting down to watch an episode of The White Shadow, and Battlestar Galactica comes on, instead.) I say, throw the bums out of the game! As soon as they start goin' at it, chuck 'em! Or just eject the instigator if need be.
Can you imagine two NFL or NBA players duking it out, and then seeing them allowed back into the game after a yardage or possession penalty?
... exactly!
