The Guide on How to Fight in the NHL
1-liner, Fighting, NHL December 18th. 2008, 12:30pmFighting in Hockey: We find skating difficult (skiing, too), and we can’t imagine skating and fighting, simultaneously. There’s a science to it, obviously. Like making non-soggy french toast, fixing a flat, or holding an umbrella in a fierce rainstorm. (Boston Globe via Fark) Also, the amazing San Jose Sharks lost last night.

Skiing is fun as hell. And you can’t change a flat? What are you, a woman? Jesus.

Apparently he feels the need to have an umbrella, also. Real men get wet in the rain.

TBL, watch the next fight. Most times, the one guy is holding on to the other guy for stability when out in the open. Other times they will be up against the boards using them as support.
It’s science

I’m probably the only hockey fan that hates fighting in hockey. Or one of the only, I guess.

the key to making less soggy french toast is to use more egg white than yolk and to use less oil/butter/grease in the pan. and when you add syrup, don’t use that aunt jemima bullshit, get the real stuff, put in a teaspoon of butter and throw it in the microwave…the butter will clarify and keep the syrup from drenching the toast.

1. I’m good at both skiing and skating. It’s the same principle of shifting weight.
2. I know its a labored point. But, I still don’t understand why fighting is glorified in hockey, part of the game in baseball, yet horrifying in basketball and football.

hockey and baseball = “white” sports
football and basketball = “black” sports
it’s a racist thing.
i wanna see more golf fights, to be honest.

I’m on the same boat as you, fetch. Not a fan of fighting in hockey. I like the European, or Olympic style, more. The bigger rink helps.

Adam Burish, the “agitator” for the Blackhawks, has a blog with the Sun Times and wrote a few posts on the art of fighting in hockey. I think he does a great job of explaining why guys get into fights and the overall purpose for getting into it with someone on the ice.

agitator = bad at hockey.

If there was a reasonable chance of sissy-slapping of man boobs, I would actually watch golf.

who said it was part of the game in baseball??? sure there are dust ups here and there (partially thanks to the DH) but no baseball person i know suggests even for a moment that fighting is part of baseball.
hockey yeah; baseball no way.
