If you are wondering if you should go to Lowell tonight, pencil it in. The Lockmonsters have assigned perennial bench warmer Jesse Boulerice for a weekend stint. Boulerice is a gamer, and one tough customer. He was the subject of a vicious Aaron Downey one-punch a couple of years ago that scrambled his eggs a bit, but the lockout and a year away from the game was a good thing for the New York native. Hopefully Boulerice and Marty Grenier have a go tonight, and Mike Hoffman and Jesse tangle on Sunday. Either way, I am so excited I may take a deliberate penalty, and dammed if I wouldn’t!

I get this question a lot these days, as friends and relatives are well aware of my proclivity for a good ol' professional on-ice donnybrook. While I have strong opinions as to the best answer - the true future of the NHL hockey enforcer and the fights they once graced fans with - I don't have to like it. And, frankly, I don't.Where Have All the Good Goons Gone?On the ice, are there even any classic goons left? Gone are Shawn Thornton, Trevor Gillies, Brendan Walsh and most of the other Goonblo...
