Hey, can somebody please explain to me what all this fighting is about in hockey games? I mean, why don't the guys choose a sport like boxing or Muay Thai?
Falux, the fighting is a big part of North-American hockey, but not every player fights. Every team has a full on goon or three who do most of the fighting and their fights are not always personal; mostly its just profesionals doing what they do. Most players will fight, on occasion, if provoked, but some of the skilled players will never drop the gloves. A lot of the fights are about enforcing standards of play (you cheap-shotted our skilled star so now Semeko [famous Edmonton goon from the glory days] is going to fuck you up), and often it's just about entertainment and team momentum. Finally, Hockey is a very agressive, physical sport, so with all these roid pigs skating around blasted on Sutafed, tempers are going to flair. Since it's entertaining they don't crack down on it.

Also: Oilers RULE! Hahahahaha!
oilers suck.
^ Not as much as Detroit. I'll have to wait till after Wednesday to trash talk San Jose.
Go Flames! Next year
I'm just a little cheesed that we didn't get a good old fashioned Battle of Alberta. To bad the Flames were too weak to manage it.
yeah, it's too bad calgary took the team that has a verry good chance of taking the cup to game 7...
I was hoping to see Probert destroy somebody. Oh well.
I feel worse for the oiler fans that have to live in Edmonton
I'm a Flames fan but since we're out of it "GO OILERS!!"
and you did'nt see any of these bad boys run away crying after a straight shot to the nose
