    Not really ... there is usually some blood though ... occassional fists are thrown but the players are very respectful of the referees. May look violent if you are used to seeing the pads in American Football ... but the tackling is similar just no padding.

    Isn't ice hockey the violent sport?

    EDIT: this was in response to Boo Boo ... you guys are too quick ;)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    It's pretty violent but not like old time 70's hockey...

    Ever seen a fight?

    It's all relative. I love the fights. You're right, American football is ridiculous with all the padding.

    Have you been to Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

    Like boxers, or a couple of clowns brawling in an alley?

    OMG, there was a special?!? I had a Bobby Clarke Flyers shirt when I was a kid, nearly broke my Dad's heart. They were my second-favorite team. I also had the Sports Illustrated cover of him grinning in the penalty box, nary an upper front tooth to be seen...

    Yes, you definitely do. It was amazing. I think I gotta go with Bobby Clarke as well. I think I've watched that special like five times now. Very well done. Hockey has really changed since then eh?

    As a baby I went to a No-hitter thrown against the Mets by a Pirate :roll:
    Of what I remember? Jet game where OJ broke the single season rushing record in a huge snowfall...

    Boston Red Sox vs the Oakland A's with my dad.

    Won the tix on a radio station...I'm sure it helped that I was the Radio Stations Paper Boy as well...

    Don't really remember. Either a Calgary Stampeders or a Calgary Flames game. No idea who they played though ;)
