<<Fans throwing *anything* onto the ice do not belong at a hockey game.
I find nothing funny or entertaining about this practice at all. The
only thing besides a puck that should be tossed onto the ice, are hats
after a hat trick. Anything else is inexcusable, period.
 
I think I am becoming ver klempt....I will give you a new topic:
 
How about the BEST college hockey game you ever saw....

While the first statement here is WAY too conservative even for someone who
never throws anything on the ice at a school's (Colorado College) games where
rarely if not never does this happen.......I cannot refute the salivations I
have over "the best game I ever saw" request. It may have been one of the
greatest games ever played at the college level....the 1996 National
Championship game between CC and Michigan. However, because I was not there
(saw it on tv) I am thinking that doesn't count. Therefore, the folowing box
score sums it up perfectly.....and yes...I was there!
