I'm one of those fans who could provoke major flames here by supporting goons-on-ice in hockey. I have one of those Hockey fight highlight tapes, and will show it at a tailgate party before the freakout here at RPI this Saturday. If there were no "incidents" or penalty-causing infractions at all in the game, hockey would be a bit boring after a while. If it was non-check, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Charles Manson sounds like a compliment to a hockey player, IMHO! What nicknames do hockey players have, really? Is there a "Dr. Hook", "The Backside Slasher", etc. What are today's actual players called by their pals in the locker room, and/or by adoring fans in the arena? -Richard E Vehlow RPI '91, '93 [log in to unmask] PS: How many of you out there saw "Slap Shot"?
