Don... "And surely the level of violence involved in Canadian ice hockey is legendary?"
Unfortunately yes. Also unfortunate is the level it was raised to when I decided I wouldn't watch it anymore. It became a TV freak show that was all about the brawls. Same thing happened in baseball. I'd say it was TVism and $ism.
Still, the rioting is unacceptable. I hope the penalties are harsh and well publicized with names and pics.
