So I got a bit of grief from my last post about Brent Seabrook’s injury and James Wizzi’s subsequent suspension, and perhaps deservedly so. So accept this as sort of a peace offering, Mike Comrie and Scott Nichol in a do-si-do, with video after the jump. After Comrie’s Oilers put a hurtin’ on the Sharks, Comrie did same to Nichol.

ASYLUM POLL: Are fights bad for hockey?

Even though Comrie seemed to strike the winning blow, Nichol landed more punches. So who wins? Hockeyfights, who brings us this wonderful video, had 58 percent of its voters giving the fight to Comrie. Do you see it that way? Is this even a hockey fight? You know, because I know so little about the game and all. Read the rest of this entry »

Writing down full descriptions for hockey fights is tiresome and forces me to learn background information I don’t want to know, so here’s a little breakdown of the roles in this quick and dirty Canucks-Oilers dust-up:

Mattias Ohlund: checker
Erik Cole: checkee
Cole’s teammate Sheldon Souray: puncher
Ohlund: punchee

The most important thing about this video?  It’s buying me some more time to put together a sexy WAG gallery for the next post.  And it also gives the hockey fans something to enjoy.  You know, when they’re not too busy reading The New Yorker and sipping brandy.  By which I mean “chewing Red Man.”

I know there are hockey fans out there, and this goes out to both of you. Last Thursday night, the Stars won 6-5 in Edmonton despite the blunder below. With the game about to end and the Stars leading 5-4, Dallas forward Patrik Stefan is about to seal the game with an empty-net goal. Watch and enjoy.

And yes, it's Monday and I'm going to post as many videos as possible today.
