Peter Mannino made his NHL debut for the Islanders on Friday, mopping up for Joey MacDonald. Hopefully, he'll get some additional NHL opportunities. If he...

From the CBC website, http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2008/12/30/nb-oree-order.html Willie O'Ree, the first black man to play in the National Hockey League, has...
First let me say Happy New Year to everyone on the list! I hope 2009 is a great year for you, and your friends and families. Question regarding Doug Favell...
I do recall that he had a bad knee, he only played 3 games in 75-6 and was actually down to recondition where he only played 4. His GAA for those 3 was 5.63...
Folks, There is a new book on the old WHL. Jon C. Stott who wrote "Ice Men" before the last season of the WHL has "Ice Warriors". It is 256 pages and has a...
From today's Hamilton, Ontario Spectator. I hope now when the old argument of fighting in hockey is raised, no one will now argue nobody gets hurt in a fight....
Bill, I don't think Dougie had much of a workout regimen. I heard he would eat an entire pizza in the locker room before a game. I loved the fabulous flopper...
Well Craig after Bill Masterson died I sincerely hope that no one ever says no one is hurt from a body check. Keep in mind it was basically the SAME THING!...
That is probably true! He was kind of a fun guy.:-) As I recall Terry Crisp once said that he would take his glove off when he shot at practice! I would not be...
Craig and Bill, Bill, as always I enjoy reading your rants. Craig is not wrong in his beliefs because beliefs are allowed to differ, just as Bill has the...
This may sound a little on the silly side, but if I worked in a place where I was regularly getting hit and was not allowed to defend myself when the hits...
i won't argue that nobody ever gets hurt in a fight, but i hope fighting always remains a part of the game despite this terrible turn of events. also, i think...
by the way, i agree with this article - fighting should not be banned as a result this death: http://news.therecord.com/Sports/article/466605 thanks! greg...
Fighting is an issue that will probably never go away as long as the NHL shies away from banning it. I watched several games during the 2002 Olympics. No...
Just like to add that over his entire career, Ratelle never had a major penalty. So it wasn't that he rarely dropped the gloves, he never did. Nothing wrong...
Bill, We'll never agree on this subject but the difference you are missing is body checking is part of the game. It is legal. So is shooting the puck (where...
If I was paid what these guys are I'd have no issue doing it Keith. Nor would I have had that much of an issue when I was 22 or 23 if I was told by a low minor...
Bill, I hear what you are saying. I love pro boxing too...same thing...Duk Koo Kim, the list goes on...and boxing is much more a brutal sport than hockey....
Keith, Could the league not avoid that stick situation by cracking down on stick fouls? Have to say the CIS bans fighting and I don't see a multitude of stick...
Sanderson's death wasn't due to fighting as such, but it was due to the way fighting is carried out. Much of the early tusseling in a hockey fight is spent...
You can make the argument that fighting turns off fans more than it attracts them and if that is true why do boxing, football and even.gulp.wrestling outdraw...
Craig it is against the rules sure but with a tongue and cheek. You get five minutes for it! And can we even look at it in the same way as say a high ...
Keith I would go to games too without fighting, hell, between youth and NCAA hockey I probably watch more games without it than with it. But you, Craig, and I...
I doubt it. And the issue is less the number but the severity of the fouls. In the NCAA it is less the number but rather the way that a guy goes to cheap shot...
