Brouhaha

On Saturday night, after our rib fest, we went to an IceHogs game. I haven't been to one in years and I'm not a hockey fan. But the tickets were free from work and they were playing their rivals, the Quad City Mallards, so I knew it would be entertaining. That was an understatement. Within the first six seconds of regulation, three slugfests -- gloves off, helmets pitched. Then there was slashing 10 seconds later. And before a minute was up, one of the 'Hogs skated by the unwitting Mallard goalie and tripped him with his stick. He got ten minutes for that one. It was just plain brutal. But it was fun.

p.s. That photo is not from the match. But it captures the spirit of the night.
