And those of you lamenting all the fighting in the league but love to remember the '04 cup run... that run was full of fights. I'd argue the flames get nowhere close to the finals without having a roster full of tough SOBs.
You're all a bunch o hypocrites!
Two things can be true at once my guy.

People can look fondly on a time, and still have opinions on culture etc. with different eyes.


Hell, if I couldn't hold two things being true at the same time, as a queer hockey fan, I probably wouldn't watch. It's by far the most socially conservative sport this side of NASCAR.
