Yep... heard that one before...

Funny thing is... half the hockey games I go to have no fights. Also, for every fight you see, there are about four that never quite made it to a full out swinging match.

I used to go watch the Bruins in the mid-80's and whenever Jay Miller hit the ice, you knew the gloves weren't far behind!

I really don't know if he could even skate...he was never on the ice enough to find out.

It's a different game now, and I think it's for the better.

I saw Miller a lot when he played for the Kings.  Miller and McSorley on the same team was pretty entertaining.  :)

Fighting is actually up quite a bit in the NHL these days... then again, only the goons are fighting, not anyone of any importance.  If people didn't like fights, in general, then guys like Mike Tyson wouldn't have made the money that pays the lawyers to keep them out of prison :)

I hear Herb Brooks is slagging the Canadian dump and chase style.  I'm not sure I'd want to play run-and-gun with the Canadian team, they have a lot of talent and are every bit as quick as the US team.

Strange agreement that these games have NHL refs.  It basically means the only refs for the games are either Canadian or US.  The NHL refs contract apparently specifies that they have to ref any game that has a majority of NHL players in it.  Part of the agreement to allow the NHL players into the Olympics required NHL refs to participate.

Viper I don't think fighting is a big part of hockey outside of North America.  The foreign players blow up occasionally but most of them will just use the stick as a weapon.  Most of them I've seen drop the gloves got their teeth handed to them.  The only guy I remember being a decent fighter was Andrei Nazarov, a huuuuuge Russian guy who I once saw knock somebody out with a head butt.

This is bizzare stuff....that so called intelligent people could fall to this level of thinking is almost to much to get my brain around.

At first I thought it was just an attempt to influence the IOC (re: the Jamie Sale and David Pelletier episode) with the hope that Russia could get away with more medals but now that Putin has put his two cents worth in I am not so sure. It's not unheard of for the leader of a country to stir the flames where the Olympics are concerned but it is unusual for this to occur when the evidence to said crime(s) doesn't exist. No doubt some will argue that it does and they already have but to me it is like the fart buying the prettythanghole...It stinks and it lacks substance and truth.

Politics run amuk in the modern age indeed!

It was a fair game. USA was better (in first two periods), and won.

At least every second window was lit in Moscow at 3 AM - the whole country was watching them. I watched it with 3 friends - and we almost broke down the furniture :mad:

I think that officials should better call judges from "neutral" countries - so the very question of judgement couldn't be raised at all. At least we didn't see that famous Canadian "wrong stick angle" from 1981, when that loosers took away our prize.

Some people here are furious at Russian "NHL" team. "Can you imagine that players winning the game with their employers?" they say... NHL players attract negative emotions since World Cup 1999 in Leningrad, where they couldn't even make in to the play-offs, and got 13th place, losing to Belarus and Latvia. People got mad - "Pack your bags and go f#$king back to your America!" :( The only decent five there was from Magnitogorsk "Metallurg"...

Funny, but Belorussian team consists mostly of players from Russian championship.

Frankly speaking, after that failure I hoped Belarus could win third place :(

If only they started playing from the very start, not in a third period!!! Damn, they COULD kick yankees face against the ice! :mad:

And why do all the good Russian hocky players names end in "ov"

It's simple for a family name - Samsonov is a son of Samson, Pavlov is a son of Pavel, etc. Don't mix it with "second name", that is a form of your father's name - I am Pavel Yurievich Pavlov - Pavel, who's father is Yuri, from the family of Pavel's - pretty stupid, like Paul Paulson ;) but easy to remember ;) I think I should name my son Pavel :)
