I'm a Goon ...

Ok not really, but I do enjoy fights in hockey. The NHL commissioner has been talking about making hockey safer for the players, but I enjoy hard clean hard hits and random fights. I know that is the goon in me, but I find it exciting and fun to watch two guys throw the gloves off and go at it especially if the goalies decide to get involved. Hockey fights are part of the game and can never be taken fully taking out. Now I am not saying going all “Slap Shot” and start fights on purpose, but I miss the days off seeing more enforcers on the ice. You Tube search PJ.Stock and you will know what I mean. I would go to Hartford Wolfpack games just to watch him play and he would be involved in some classic battles. Hockey is a demanding sport that is played at high pace, let’s guys play and keep the checks along with fights part of the game. As long as nobody is head hunting…Once the puck hits the ice  Game ON !!

Less Equals More

I read a couple weeks ago that MLB was thinking of adding another playoff team.Why? I think that MLB and the NFL have it right spot on with limited teams making the playoffs. The NBA and NHL water it down with some many teams in the playoffs.Yes more people watch but to say your team made the playoffs holds no value,it means nothing. In the NFL and MLB if your team makes the playoffs it has some value except for the Seattle Seahwaks. Im a Rockies fan so when they make the playoffs I am excited and on the flip side I am a Suns fan but could careless if they make the playoffs because almost every NBA team  does...
