The Gloves Are Off


OK, I know, you got it. The weather is warm and the gloves have finally come off. Nice.

While this is the cliche item of the week to post, it is hardly what this poster is on about.

NHL. How can an organization be so transparently and foolishly run? Everyone jumps on band wagons and it must be because we pay undue respect to journalism.

My case is simple. Head hits. In a sport with a great deal of intensity and incidental contact, the buzz word is "head hunting". I can tell you, if you foolishly are bent over playing the puck when Keith Pronger hits you, you will be hurt and it will likely involve your melon.

So now, in their infinite reactionary wisdom, Wisniewski gets 8 games from the league for a well intended, yet hard hit immediately following a hard head shot by Seabrook. Not to get too far into the game but these people all need a head check. I mean the literal kind.
I love the game and while not an NFL fan, it is time to learn some lessons.
Thumbs down.
Over.
