I dunno man.... I got into a few tussles in my more competitive playing days. Those could have been called pointless.

But did you get to see the Patrick Roy vs. Mike Vernon fight? Was it 1997? THAT was one for the ages. That Colorado/Detriot rivalry was epic. Good times. GREAT hockey.

LOVE this game. But I also get why it will never really grab hold as a 'top' sport in the US. Its like when I tell people that not only do I play, but that I am a goalie.

"What?!?!?!?!?! Are you CRAZY?"

I would have NEVER guessed you were a goalie....
