mikey boy, if you think my english is bad you should see my french that's what happens when a typical conversation is 50% french 50% english ( is my spelling that bad)

csc99svt, i think i do get your point, it was useless violence but the fact of the matter is that there was always violence in this game, even more so today. I called one of my hardcore hockey friends and asked him about it, and he was telling me that the situation is getting out of hand and that the league needs to do something fast before someone does get killed or seriously injured.
So if i was wrong in my previous post i do apologize





only hockey fans could come together and eventually get along......

this could be a whole nother topic....mtl was talking earlier about the lack of superstars in the game....the man is right....where did they go? no one is gonna score 50 goals this year (kovalchuck could but i doubt it...)

does anyone think anything can be done!?

i am only 23, i currently work at a pharmacy and we use old name rexall and after i learned earlier this season that edmontons arena was called rexall place, i did some research.....yes i did grow up playing hockey, but i was watching echl games down here in nashville and catching scores every now and then pre-sportscenter.....when i learned that in 83-84 when the oilers won a cup, gretzky has score something like 205 points on the season....ONE FRIGGIN SEASON!!!!!!!!!! this is what mtl was talking about....where did stuff like that go? do we even have a 100 point scorer this year? sheesh....
