Yeah I can't watch women's ice hockey because they don't full body check. As a young girl I was almost on the tackle football team but my knees weren't strong enough, I need full contact
I want a full contact WNHL. I want full contact Olympic women's hockey. Hockey without contact is like baseball without someone on-camera scratching the yam bag.
And there went the coffee up the nose. Ow. Also, is it just they won't as an unspoken rule or that it is a rule? Either way, that kind of sucks and something I wasn't aware of! I cheer for the 'Hawks, but don't know all the ins and outs of hockey.
That said, go Vegas!!! I love an underdog band of misfits and OMG that win last night! I was laughing my ass off when one of the Vegas guys got a goal in the open net. I'm sorry, that's a stupid idea when it's a one goal game. I get you want the extra defender and all but at least you would have saved a bit of face. Small bit.
There was an article about this earlier about how you should do it when there's like five minutes left, but I can't find it anymore. Google fu is failing me.
