Madness Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The NHL's Western Conference has been tight this season, but it's got nothing on the American Hockey League. Only 6 points separate 4th place from 12th place in the AHL West. It's a hot mess down there. That said, both the Rockford Ice Hogs and Milwaukee Admirals, who sit at the bottom of that cluster, are in trouble, and not just because everyone has games in hand on Rockford or because Milwaukee is currently in 12th. Rather, because it will be hard to keep pace in the Western Conference when half your roster is suspended for leaving the bench. Check out this massive brawl from Sunday afternoon's contest between the two teams: Be sure to buy a 50/50 ticket because -- OH MY GOD EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING. I love the deejay's decision to spin Carl Douglas novelty funk hit "Kung Fu Fighting". The flute runs give the melee a nice, light-hearted feel. Here's the backstory, courtesy the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal-Sentinel: Smith's explanation of what set everything off is the best thing: "I think we just looked at each other, and I think that's what sparked it." Hockey fights are like love -- sometimes they can happen in a glance. The officials called the period then and there, sending both teams to the locker rooms for an 18-minute intermission. 8 players were ejected, as were both head coaches, for failing to restrain them. One assumes suspensions will be forthcoming. Also forthcoming: a rematch. The two teams meet again on April 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbridled_id Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I want Flick on our 4th line next year, go Hogs !!! They have been playing very well as of late (except their PP), and have a chance of making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbridled_id Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Oh spare me your righteous indignation. Weak but typical on your part, the Blackhawks could use some of the grit and spit that the hogs have. Your whining fits right in with GIllis' martyr mantra. I want Flick on our 4th line and if he will not take any guff or slashes and chops then I want him even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
