Well, here is the question. What can we do? Noone cares but us it seems. I wrote letters to the NHL, and the Flyers. I never got a reply. **** this sport. It can blow me! Now I feel better. |
Ron Duguay is tougher than most players in the current NHL. He was like a male model..but yet..back then..even he'd drop the gloves and fight. He was a below average fighter, but it did not deter him at all in dropping the gloves and fighting anyone, including toughguys of the famed 80's era..
But what I want to know is where are all the people who didn't like the goon vs goon bout. I remember reading these forums, and regulars harping about the pointless goon vs goon fight at the start of the game.
Where are all of you now ?
You got your wish, and many said "careful what you wish for". No more goon vs goon fights, or all those "passion sparked" fights that people predicted would happen, and make the game better without the 4th line toughguy who can't skate or "play" hockey.
I'd rather see
Francis Lessard fight
Stephen Peat in the NHL, rather than moving to a new city to watch them in the AHL. I'd rather see
Dennis Bonvie get called up, rather reading about a young toughguy like
Riley Cote getting sent down.
And I do not pay one cent for anything NHL , other than Direct TV where I skim over a game every now and then, before I lose intrest due to the volume of penalties and lack of rugged play based on the current game.
