Let's hear it for goons. What a nice family of goons! Love how the no-talent thug throws his elbow! What a GOON! I love how he knocks the wind out of someone on his own team! Brilliant move! While hits are part of the game, throwing an elbow is illegal. He was leading with the elbow. I hope that Lupul took a bat to Hatcher like he was a pinata on Cinco de Mayo!

P.S. aren't "Leafs" really leaves? It's like calling a group of thieves "thiefs".

It is a physical game, played by very large people played at very high speeds. No one ever wants to see an injury, but making the players scared to throw hits because of suspensions and other penalties will eventualy turn this sport into the ice capades. Just like the Colton Orr hit on Matt Cullen, these hits are part of a game played at high speed and it would be a huge mistake to take them out of the game.

I don't claim to know much about you. This is the first time I've read your blog or narative or... piece. Should I assume you're a Leafs fan, or do you just hate the Flyers? I gotta say, I agree with a lot of it though and was a pretty entertaining read. :^) Did I miss the section where you ripped into the refs for the lack of calls against the Leafs, such as the brutal boarding of Coburn that opened him up for a few stitches? …or were you just in a mood to pick on the the Flyers specifically?
