plnelson,

This thread is for hockey fans, who I hope will not take your bait.

The tone most of us hope for (and generally enjoy), in Mudcat hockey threads, is that of fans sitting side by side at a game, regardless of which team they cheer. We expect one another to behave well enough not to be ejected from the game by anxious security personnel, and we don't throw beer in each others' faces as a result. :~)

I ask you the same courtesy.

We don't do much trash talk, here, and we don't expect to debate hockey's worth with someone who got a free ticket and used it to hassle people enjoying the game.

And BTW-- last time I looked, I didn't see any cavemen at hockey games. A lot of blue-collar and salt-of-the-earth folks, but no cavemen or cavekids. :~)

Your off-topic post will stay, because Mudcat prefers not to censor free speech, but your point has been debated many times in other threads.
