I like your blog! Feel free to stop by anytime!
I recently went to a sting game (sarnia sting), got me thinking. You know one major factor that gets anyone an A in the drafting books is probably agression. I mean lets face it. You fight someone you meet on the street, the cops (refferee's) come, you get taken care of (penalty box); back of a cruiser.
Okay, I like fighting in hockey just as much as the next guy, but like this premeditated B.S. that goes on pre-play just seems stupid. Recently we had a guy get in a fight right off of like the second face off of the game. If you don't think he looked at the other guy before hand and gave him the look, your full of it. Their eyes obviously met, and whether there was an ongoing grudge or not, they definetly both knew it was going to happen.
I'm sorry guys, I know this is something that we love but I can't help but think this out and realize we are stupid. Go watch UFC.
I'm going to add here, I don't care for fights that look really really premeditated. When I see two guys on the ice going at it, the only thing that makes me go whoa and really like it, is when you can look at them and tell that they are both fucking angry. If you look at them and they dance around with the back and forth rock em' sock em' robots bullshit, it ruins the fight. I wanna see the mental testosterone adrenaline rage. I want that guy to be really pissed. I want the other guy to take it like a man because he started it and he is a pussy. I dont wanna see two teens who think : "hey if I fight this guy, I will be seen as agressive and can be a goon for some NHL team that needs to fill their seats to the drinking, looking to see some scraps crowd".
Honestly, I feel the old snotty, bloody hankey of a society that just needs me to keep catching their bullshit. They just keep handing me shitty music, "reality shows", highly overpriced clothing, lies, pornography or for lack of a better term "soft-porn" that allows the men to get a boner over their product, and the boys to have the seeds planted, and now this. I know I'm fucked over, I know that they know what I like, and that I only like what they tell me to, and thanks to the emofad even trying to be a little off the norm is pretty much impossible. They also know that we all would run to the audience section of any spontaneous act of agression just to get off on the adrenaline our brain releases. Were addicted, but its "normal".
On the complete other hand, what would the world be like if I had to own or maintain a hockey team. Would I really say "fuck this, I'll go broke as long as my players don't fight!" No. Because I need to eat just like anybody.
Maybe its just the fact that we all have been put through the brainwashingmachine so much that if someone even wanted to make a stand, the revolt to them would be too much and the idea would be so stomped on that it would be forgotten about forevor.
The idea to ban fighting in hockey is probbaly a bad one. The idea of not letting some players get in through
Congrats to that fighter though, because he scored a hatrick of short-handed goals that night!
