I know fighting is a part of the game, but instances where the goalies get into it with each other is embarrassing. It's like real-life Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Also, fights where one guy punches the other guy in the helmet. Either I'm missing something, or that's very counter-productive.
-- that 90 per cent of goals are flukes -- that pierre macguire believes every single hockey goal can be explained by physics. these explanations come 1.5 seconds after the puck went in. -- that the goalies are bigger than the nets -- the silly scrums after almost every whistle -- that a team with a guy in the penalty box is allowed (i mean encouraged) to "ice" the puck without consequence -- fighting -- the kick-it-around-in-the-corner moves. fun times. -- tv timeouts -- the ridiculous length of the schedule -- hockey in june -- hockey in may -- that players, for the most part, have no respect for each other -- overtime in regular season games -- penalty shots -- ticket prices -- too many teams -- the brute jock factor -- that an NHL calibre-goalie, apparently, isn't supposed to let in a shot while standing up and in position.. unless he is screened -- two intermissions -- the meatheads -- the kipper -- grapes -- pierre -- that canada gets so wound up about winning gold when gold in hockey is pretty much being the best of five or six team. the world's tallest midget. party on. -- officials constantly waving out guys from the face-off circle. get on with it already. -- the whole "play the body" mentality that kills the potential finesse of the game.
