I really dont get cricket? Three days of play, different scores, people giving up half way (declaring?) and the whole thing ends up a draw? Some maniac throwing a mini cannon ball at you, even bouncing it off the ground first to make the flight even more evil and all you got is a plank to defend yourself????

The Texans are going to destroy the 'Bangles'. Dick LePeux is having delusions of grandeur! I'm not a Houston Texans fan, I just know fiction from reality BTW that Michael Vick dude is something else! He is the passing game AND the running game (Warrick Dunn couldn't fight himself out of a wet paper bag)

Yes, they pay dearly for Brutal Hockey Maneuvers like what Matt Johnson did to Beukeboom. I watched it happen live on TV, and it was FIERCE. He skated up behind him and just buried his fist into the back of 'Boom's head/ neck. The silly thing was, Johnson, a complete Badass who is 6'5" 235 Lbs., really did not need to resort to a sucker punch. But I hate the Rangers/ love the Kings, and enjoyed this attack, as soon as I knew the guy wasn't dead or paralyzed. Johnson payed out in the neghborhood of $20,000 which is a BIG chunk to a young NHLer.

$20,000? That's nice! I think that kind of a sanctioning system would be good here too! That'd probably prevent many intentionally caused injuries from happening. Like last spring, when one bloke got so angry about a goal that he pushed the scorer against the goal frame, breaking his jaw from several places. The forward, a 20-year-old promising scorer (playing in my fave team HPK Hameenlinna) missed the Hockey World Championships for 20-year-olds and SM-Liiga Playoffs because of that injury. The attacker didn't have to pay a cent, but at least he had to stay off the rink for the next eight games. I bet he'd thought twice if there had been a substantial fine awaiting...
By the way, that scoreboard link is very useful, I like to read match recaps and accurate stats! They give some general insight on what's happening in each team currently. Thanks!

And how about the Minnesota Wild!? One of the best teams in the game (so far) in just their third year. wow.
---------------------------- Yea, we have the farm team down here, the Houston Aeros. They lead the AHL in points right now, I think they're 8-0-0. No one gives a shit about hockey down here, but they did win a cup two years ago (the defunct IHL).
