I rant. I brag. I praise. I say things just to tick people off.
So be prepared to be offended and/or outraged from time to time, but know also that there's only an 80% chance that I meant to be offensive and/or outrageous.

Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Av's (FULL '97 brawl)
It was this moment more than a decade ago that made me a hockey fan.
Perhaps the best example of the Golden Age of Hockeytown. It seemed like everybody was a dedicated Wings fan then. It's easy to be a fan when your team wins all the time, and when everyone else is excited about the team. Many of my friends have stories about drinking beer out of the Stanley Cup as it traveled from bar to bar during those championship summers. In recent years, I haven't even watched one full game. The Wings are still in the playoffs, arent they?
Good memories... It is sad they have cut down on fighting so much in the league. There was something about having goons on your team to just beat the other team's ass. Gill needs a good ass kicking.
