okay, enough of that lovey-dovey stuff. let's get some real action.
last night i went to a minnesota wild hockey game with my daddy for my birthday. it was fun, but sadly we lost in overtime, and sadly the girls in front of us had their butt cracks showing, and sadly the guy behind me had mustard on his hot dog which i could smell. but the saddest part - the very saddest part - was that my (and everyone's) favorite player, derek boogaard, was out for the game. he's 6'8", 257 pounds, and has the hottest temper on the team. with no boogey man, sadly there were no fights. and what's the point of hockey if not to fight?just so you can fully appreciate him:
this is the crowd after someone took a cheap shot at one of our nicest players (who's from sweden, btw).
and this is why the people were chanting for him:
(don't worry, i don't expect you to watch the thing. you'll get the idea after a few seconds. ;) )

i love that i hate boxing (amazingly enough boogey's favorite not hockey sport) cuz it's so barbaric, and yet, i love love love the fights in hockey
Maybe it's the reason behind it? :) Btw, I thought some of your 'sadly' things were funny. :) (no offense, of course;) Sorry you didn't get to see your booger guy fight (hehe, I couldn't resist -- what an awful last name!;)
i'd like to see you tell him that
oh, and the second video really doesn't do justice to his great checking and shoving. he's great at those, too.
why do you love hockey fights? I've never been able to understand the fighting in hockey or why people love it- to me, it's the same as boxing.
Maybe that's WHY he's so angry -- he doesn't like his last name. ;)
happy birthday, btw! :D
i think cuz there's a reason for the fight. esp when they kick the crap out of someone for injuring a teammate.
