Would you like to see a delightful slideshow featuring the best NHL fights of the 2005 season to date? Of course you would, silly whiskers. So click to see Boulerice batter VandenBussche. Watch transfixed as Iginla gets Moen down in cold blood. Watch helplessly as Mayers hammers Henry. And all in vivid technicolor! Particularly cruel is the Brashear vs. Godard pic – "It’s Raining Pain". Don’t mess with the "other" Donald.

Finally the Bruins have gotten on the board with a fight last night in Chicago. Nice work by Gregory Campbell to try to spark the boys. Not much of a scrap, but good on Soupy to get it started. The fight I wanted to talk about happened Thursday between Pittsburgh's Arron Asham, and Washington's Jay Beagle. It was a bit of a one sided affair, and the fight got the hockey world talking. Personally, I thought it was a good scrap, and had to be done, but others don't see it that way.
The fight s...

I am not here to offer any analysis on why there has only been one fight, I'm just saying, there hasn't been many.

Well, I hate to do it again with the bad news about a hockey player dying, but here we go. An old friend of mine from way back in the day was killed in a car accident last Saturday night. Of all the deaths over this summer, the death of Mike Russell hits the hardest. Mike was 36, had a wife and 2 kids, and was my best friend growing up. He will be missed.
I don't know exactly when and where Mike and I met. I would assume it was the early 80's, at either a soccer field, or a hockey rink. ...

Alrighty! Let's put the negativity of the summer and my last two posts behind us shall we? Why? Its back. Hockey is back! NHL Network has been showing a couple of preseason games a night, and it's great to see their commitment to the pre- season. It was also great to see Kathryn Tappen in studio, not dressed like a pilgrim. I think so far, the MVP of the pre-season has to be Brendan Shanahan.
Shanny is the new Sheriff in town for the NHL, and he's wasted no time dolling out his brand of justi...
