09.25.09 HOCKEY, AND HOCKEY FIGHTING, IS BACK

Here’s the second of two fights between Washington’s Brandon Sugden and the Rangers’ enforcer du jour Donald Brashear. I have an appreciation for dudes that can hang into a fight for a minute or more, and this one fits the bill.

The first fight was quick, leaving the fans wanting more - and more is exactly what they got. The second bout was a long one. Sugden started off strong, but Brash was able to gain control, ending the fight strong with a mix of grappling and punches in a mess of jerseys.

Brashear skated off to cheers, the loudest he’s received at MSG so far. His hit on Blair Betts is close to being forgiven. via.

I’m trying to give hockey a fair shake this fall. That and every other sport that Kobe Bryant doesn’t play. also.

Last night, Flash Forward told me that Kobe was going to blow out his knee in 6 months…so we’ve got that going for us.

This is what’s keeping hockey alive…Bettman would be a ruh-tard for getting rid of fighting. The fans love it, the players love it and it separates this sport from most others, especially figure skating. Take away the sticks and puck and that’s basically what you’re left with.

So they settled that hockey strike deal, huh? Glad to finally have them back.

Take the ball away from football and your left with a sexy game of grab-ass.
