| I like a little violence in my hockey, I won't deny it. Not in lieu of the actual game, mind you, but it's like a vicarious outlet every so often.
Still, I've always maintained that anything that would be considered a crime off the ice should be treated as such on it as well. That unwarranted attack on the Chicoutimi goaler was probably not the only incident to keep in mind, but it was such a blatantly disgusting display of uncalled-for aggression that I'm glad it wasn't swept under the rug.
And they're getting tougher in the NHL, too. It isn't that long ago that full-on fights carried penalties, but not much more.. __________________  Sunny
