That just goes to show you why Ron Hextall was the man.

That goes to show that while amusing to watch, ice hockey is a pointless sport if the fighting is more exciting than the game itself...

You're a tool if you think the fighting is more exciting than the actual game.

Exactly

Just to set the record straight, I wasn't saying that is was, I was just saying that when things like that happen in any sport, it's usually something that you can talk about for a while after. Anyways, out of that video, I would say that Roy\Vernon and Roy\Osgood were both big moments of the year and of the game. A fight isn't just "there" in my opinion, they are exciting and they are exciting for a reason. They can turn the tide of the game and they add a "what's going to happen next?" element to the game when the goalies themselves end up getting into it.

Can someone explain the clip where the two goalies are the only ones on the ice, and are just shooting the puck back and forth?

I am actually wondering that myself, it slips my mind.
