    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Are you talking about hockey? That's a dead sport in the US. Even boxing isn't that dead in the US yet.
    Yeah, it's dead in most of the States. New York, Boston, and Chicago are probably the strongest markets at the moment I guess, but Bettman has run the game into the ground int he States.
    Rangers Fan here, and even though I try to get my friends into hockey... i wont be watching a 24/7 on ovie the kneecapper vs. skidmark sid and the diving penguins.
    I still hate the Rangers for 1994 . I wish them ill.
    Hey, it aint our fault the cup hasn't been back to Canada since. You can blame bettman for that one. whats with all the riots whenever a Canadian team loses an important game?
    I don't give a fuck about the Cup coming to Canada, I hate all the other Canadian teams except for Ottawa. I cheered against both Edmonton and Calgary when they lost to American teams and Detroit and Boston are my 2nd and 3rd favorite clubs.

    As for the rioting, Vancouver was full of yahoo's and nutjobs in 1994 and it still is today, there's a small segment of the population that just ruins things for everyone else. And as for Montreal, I'd guess it's pretty much the same thing.

    I totally agree. You can throw a lot of punches and some of them can be jabs, but you should at least expect something to come back and be ready for that too.

    When Williams got tagged in the first I hoped that he would tone it down a bit and just build into the fight, but he wouldn't relent. Maybe this is what Williams needed, as I don't think he will be quite this reckless again.

    Martinez is too good to just throw caution to the wind against.

    Even Morales was defensively responsible. If he wasn't he would have burned out long ago. Paul has gigantic balls but its not all about that.

    After watching the replay a number of times, you literally couldn't set yourself up for a big straight left any better. Wide lead left hook, leaning in, chin up. Boom.

    Yeah, I had a lady in Ottawa that was a sens fan. They're haven't been the same since Chara left. Edmonton is like a personal bargain bin.. Sather brought a free garbage for garbage pipeline from Edmonton. I haven't like Calgary since Fleury left. Gotta love the way detroit builds a team. Boston is a rival but I would like to see Thomas get a cup before retirement. I just hate the wuss league bettmas created, with this posterboy bull$hit....The riots are funny though, the first thing you guys burn is always a cop car. lol
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Yeah, Detroit is one of the best run teams in all of sports. I started watching them when I was a kid because of Yzerman (still my all-time favorite player) and it was amazing to watch them go from a laughing-stock to the model franchise. I still have a soft spot for them, except when they are playing the Canucks (aka Chicago's bitches).

    They're a good team, but they just lost 7-1 to the 'Hawks. IMO they need a new coach, if only to shake up the team. They look like they've bought in to all the preseason talk declaring them soon-to-be Cup champions and forgot that they have to try.

    I always had a softspot for the wings because of players like Howe and Shanny... Its the essence of hockey. Score/Assist/Fight... Thats why its a shame there arent more hockey fans,( then again thats partly because of the way the leagues gone) . Basketball/football/baseball.. get into a fight, suspension and get fined 250k.... IN hockey, they hand you a stick and send you out there to rap someone across the knuckles with it. get into a fight and you get to sit down and rest for 5 minutes. (though i didnt see a lot of fights in goal.. i had to wait for bench clearing donnybrooks to see any action)

    The whole fight took less than 10 minutes. Williams OK'd in the 2nd round. HBO started the 24/7 series early which was Hockey.
