    17yr old hockey player charged for on-ice assault.

    WorkingOvertime replied to Son of a Wing's topic in General

    Fighting is penalized by set rules in that league through escalating suspensions. Therefore, the league anticipates that fighting will occur in the league, despite the harsh penalties, and that a standard penalty is adequate. In contrast, match penalties are for serious incidents that cannot, or should not, be subject to standardized penalization by the league. You could argue this play should have been a match penalty, and that would be a different situation.

    WorkingOvertime replied to Son of a Wing's topic in General

    I think this is the main point of the situation. If fighting has a set penalty in the league, than it may be considered part of the game at this level in this league. Since this league does not consider fighting a match penalty (indefinite suspension pending league review), it would be difficult to argue that a fight would be outside of the expected circumstances in the league. However, you could argue the altercation was not a fight by the definition in the rule book.

    Ilitch reveals plan for new $450m, 18,000-seat Red Wings arena

    WorkingOvertime replied to Ally's topic in General

    I generally agree with you, but I do think Detroit city that needs to spend its development dollars on something and the area between downtown and midtown needs development badly. IMO the worst thing would be the Wings moving to the burbs instead of helping build out the downtown area. Unfortunately, the use of public money likely means the naming rights will (should) be sold.

    Talking Tootoo

    WorkingOvertime replied to Shutemdown's topic in General

    I agree. Tootoo brings energy, toughness, and good offensive skills for a career fourth-liner. The Wings fourth line isn't out there to play puck possession, they are there to cycle, to hit, and to wear down the other team. Tootoo can do those things well. Does anyone here not want to see Miller-Andersson-Tootoo start the season as the fourth line next year (for rosters within reason)?
