From
where I sit it looks like the NHL is facing a question...
Specifically,
is there really 'no such thing as bad publicity'? The Canucks-Flames
brawl has again raised the debate over fighting in hockey. To that I
say, watch the people in the stands during the video, they certainly
don't seem to be complaining. As for who started it, there's plenty
of blame to go around. Tortorella didn't need to respond to
Hartley's goonery with his own goons. At the same time, what was
Hartley really trying to accomplish apart from making everyone look
stupid? I know Tortorella will be in big trouble from the NHL for
trying to get to the Flames lockerroom after the first period, but
shouldn't Hartley be facing some sort of punishment for inciting the
brawl in the first place? Despite all of that this fight has
generated a ton of interest for the NHL, and a guaranteed sell-out
for the next game.
The
Reggae Boys are heading back to the Winter Olympics...
At
least they qualified to go to Sochi. The question is whether they
will be able to afford to go. It's not an easy task to even get the
privilege to go, even harder to find the money. Jamaica is an
Olympic power in the summer games, so the question is if they will
find the funds for their 2-man bobsled crew. Since 1988, it's been
an inspiring sight, watching the distinct colours of the Jamaican
bobsleds hurtling down the track. However, funding has always been
an issue. Hopefully, the money can be found. At the very least, we
can get a sequel to Cool Runnings.
At
least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
