Most of you who know me well know that I absolutely deplore fighting in hockey. Fighting in hockey pisses me off. Sure, physical play is important to the game, and I enjoy quality hitting. I also enjoy passing, puck control, and other hallmarks of quality play. Fighting, in my opinion has no place in hockey (or any sport, other than, say, Boxing) and does nothing but detract from the game and give our children (of all ages) the idea that a knockdown drag-out brawl is a good idea. Call me a purist, but hockey is about getting the puck in the other team’s net - NOT having a punching match. So normally, when people talk about the hockeyfight with rampant glee & enthusiam and freely admit that that’s half the attraction, I get all grumpy and feel like dropping the gloves myself…
However, as much as I hate hockeyfighting, I have to admit that I LOVE THE APOCALYPSE.

Watch our friends at Dreamhost issue a beating to a Sidekick.
What a spectacular innovation.
