old time hockey. i thought it was great. there will be the nay sayers crying that fighting should be taken out of the game, but what was the hottest ticket of the year? the next game in ottawa.

fighting is a part of the game. always has been and always will be. the people complaining that it has no place in hockey have never played, or never played at a competitive level. if they want to sell-out games, then the league shouldn't be so hard on the fighting aspect. like any other role on the team, it is a job. after a good fight they are usually patting each other on the back and going out for drinks after the game.

i loved the look on emry's face. like a kid in a candy shop. i didn't realize until my mom told me, but we played for the same junior b team in welland.
