Haha. Absolutely, I feel ya. Not that I'd want either of those guys on the team today but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy a good ol' fashioned hockey fight.
Having spent my adolescence growing up in small town, farm country Ontario around guys like Aaron Downey (one time enforcer in the league), you come to appreciate the old pugilist side of hockey - something ingrained into the fabric of the community.
Being a city slicker myself, while we had the odd tilt, I'd be lying if I didn't say I know where you're coming from. Heck, even in baseball, when we had tournies up Sudbury way, those small town teams were rock hard and nasty b*stards...good fun. Cheers.
