  - maker her use manual focus. -- nm - colin Mar 13, 10:26
I hate to sound like Don Cherry, but people who say that fighting should be banned from hockey don't know hockey. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:15 43
- It's unnecessary and ruins the game -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 10:31 9
  - One of the things that has ruined the game is the Instigator Penalty. nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:33 2
    - Although you really have to try hard to get one now. - Reagen Mar 13, 10:34 1
      - Good. I don't get to watch much anymore. Glad it's working its way out. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:35
  - Wrong. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:32 5
    - What about it makes the game better? I don't even understand how it gets to that point so often. - Krusty Mar 13, 10:38 4
      - Why isn't hitting batters banned then? -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:39 3
        
        because it is not always on purpose. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:39 2
        
        Players police themselves. That's why dudes get intentionally plunked from time to time. There are 'codes' in pro sports. Fighting in hockey is one. - Shaun Mar 13, 10:41 1
        
        pitchers only bat in one league, they can take liberties with hitters - groiny Mar 13, 10:43
- I don't know why every other sports manages to have physical games without fights - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:25 15
  - They tried to cut down on fights in the 90s iirc, but that that did was make it easy for goons like Suter to crosscheck Kariya in the face. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:26 2
    - What.!?!?!?!?!? - Claude Lemieux SI Mar 13, 10:39
    - And the real answer in a league is to make Suter sit down without pay for quite a long time. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:34
  - how many bench clearing brawls are there a year in baseball? -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 10:26 11
    - A handful. And those guys who start those get to miss some game checks. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:35 8
      - The last bench clearing brawl in the NHL was *1996*. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 10:37 7
        
        In hockey, it's 6 on 6 all the time*. It baseball, it's 9 on 1 if you go by that logic. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:39 2
        
        so obviously baseball doesn't care enough to remove it from the sport, by your logic. - Reagen Mar 13, 10:41 1
        
        Baseball suspends anyone charging the mound; and often the pticher throwing the ball. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:49
        
        well, IIRC there are specific rules about leaving the bench in the NHL correct? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:38 3
        
        yep. the NHL also has something for the 3rd guy in or soemthing like that. they prefer their confrontations to be fair. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:40
        
        yes, automatic ejection for leaving the bench for a fight. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 10:40 1
        
        so there you go....... -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:40
    - Exactly. This is what so many people don't understand. The players really do police themselves. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:35
    - Baseball needs to ban beaning batters. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:28
- I used to love hockey, it is not the same game anymore. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:17 16
  - I used to watch hockey a fair amount. I don't know if I could say I loved it. Now I don't have time for it, so it's an afterthought. - Beryllium Mar 13, 10:20 4
    - They won last night! -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:23 3
      - Sure - in a shootout. Fuck shootouts. ;-) I think they've won 2 of their last ... what, 8 games? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 10:23 2
        
        Also, my stance on shootouts: I would prefer a tie. Some people counter-argue that a "tie" isn't a real score. - Beryllium Mar 13, 10:25
        
        I think it might be like 13 or 14 :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:24
  - How so? -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:17 10
    - no goons, the offense being more wide open now, shootouts. -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:18 9
      - While not a shootout fan, the wide open game now is a billion times better than the trap/obstruction era. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:23 8
        
        Yeah, 15 years ago, hockey was so boring. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:34 2
        
        Goalies were mostly atrocious until someone invented the Butterfly style. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 10:43
        
        It's not that goalies were bad, it's that defense was a theoretical concept. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 10:43
        
        And there absolutely are goons. Their roles are not as emphasized anymore, but they are there. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 10:25
        
        Groiny sounds like a Devils fan -- nm - CQ Mar 13, 10:24 3
        
        it is similar to why I am hating the NFL these days too, the defenders have no shot. - groiny Mar 13, 10:31 2
        
        Start following the Bruins then. -- nm - CQ Mar 13, 10:35 1
        
        Well, it's easy when your defenseman's wingspan is from one circle to the other. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:52

  - I would like to avoid gunplay in the office -- nm - amoxy Mar 13, 10:30

- play it again for her tomorrow -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 13, 10:15 4
  - heh-heh... - Diva Mar 13, 10:17
  - good call. also, LTNS. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 10:15 2

- I still have never heard it. (Other than someone singing the chorus, like on @Midnight the other night.) - JaxSean Mar 13, 10:13
Trophy Wife: I think the most tragic thing about Megan Mullally is that she's so one-note. - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 10:09 4

  - Was she playing a loud, obnoxious drunk? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 10:12 1

- so police procedurals aren't full of crap? - Reagen Mar 13, 10:32
- My father, a cop, told me many times that you never, ever talk to the cops. They're not on your side. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 10:08 1
  - they are if you need help...but day to day, no. -- nm - colin Mar 13, 10:09
- "Well... I mean.. we all didn't like the guy he was a piece of crap... but.. I didn't kill him." - colin Mar 13, 10:08 1

dear prudence - My Husband Has Fallen In Love w/Our 16-Year Old Exchange Student - Diva Mar 13, 10:05 22
- you may want to call the cops and his school -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 10:16
- At this point there's a question she must ask herself. Does she want this marriage to continue? - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 10:12 1
  - I am guessing that she does since she sent the letter - ty97 Mar 13, 10:16
- next year get a male exchange student -- nm - peglegpete Mar 13, 10:12
- Don a baby doll and some thigh highs and see what you can do for your man. - CQ Mar 13, 10:11
- If she were two years older, I would have seen this porno. - David Mar 13, 10:10
- I'd be better if it read "my husband and I bought a 16-year-old exchange student" -- nm - colin Mar 13, 10:09
- [deleted] 11
  - Yup yup. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 10:10

    - [deleted]
    - wait, it is legal for a teacher to nail his student in 30 of 50 states? I bet the student exchange company has rules against it though -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 10:17 4
      - Age of consent in 30 states is 16. Of course, dude would/should lose his job over it. - ty97 Mar 13, 10:20
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah (see above) I was guessing some states might have specific laws related to the job role/power relationship as opposed to simply AoC laws. - ty97 Mar 13, 10:22
      - she is living in his house, that makes her, like his property. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 10:18
