Thanks, but the video function on my computer does not work. I really need to get it fixed. I am not being smart-alecky about this, it’s true.

I know next to nothing about hockey, having grown up in Birmingham, Alabama. I’m sure that there are many important aspects of the game that evade me; I only have memories of TV reports on games and they almost inevitably showed fights between the players (obviously, the fans love this or the league would put an end to it, hence my comment).

Being Canadian, hockey is a big part of your culture and rightly so. I am sure that it is a fine game, despite the “fights.” My animus is really directed to football, which I loath, completely loath. Long story.

Thanks for your going to the trouble of finding that clip. I intend to get this video fixed within the next few days and will come back and look at it.

Best regards,

Thanks. I've lost a lot of interest in football over the years, too.

I'm not a Canadian (long story, LOL), but hockey is the real deal. It's certainly not for the faint of heart!

The fighting is ludicrous but has gotten less so than the bad old days of the 1970s.
