Seems to me, AS would like to see the NHL All Star game type play every night. I don't watch the All Star game so I can comfortably say that I wouldn't watch helmetless hockey with no hitting and guys making sure they stay out of they way of slapshots.

and how can guys stay out of the way anyway? they don't all necessarily have their eye on the puck the entire time-we all know how quickly the game moves.
hard to avoid the thing if your back is to the shot. hard to avoid even if you're looking at it! guys get hit by the puck quite often in a game when they block shots.

couple years ago, nick backstrom played a portion of a power play without a stick. i doubt he'd have involved himself quite so much in the penalty kill without a helmet; he blocked several shots with his body. amazing display.

a la Don Awrey ?

how come nothing ever happened to MacTavish. What about the 50 years before the helmet. Don't forget hockey players are tough. They can take it. I would like to see a poll of the players. example. you are making 800K, if you stop wearing the helmet, your salary goes right to 960K. what would the vote be ?

There is a better chance of players playing for free than w/o helmets. Just because of the liability alone there is absolutely no chance that this happens. Not to mention that the idea that seeing a hockey players hair is somehow going to make the games better or more popular is so inane that it sounds like something the NTRA would come up with.

But it still isnt as ridiculous as left handed pitchers having an advantage in Fenway Park.

very disappointed that they couldn't avoid a lockout.

All the sox Great hitters were lefties. Why? Cause it's a left hand hitters park. Ray Culp pitched the first opening day I went to. Caught a foul ball from Veda Pinson. How any times have u been to Fenway ?

All the Sox great hitters were lefties? Like Jim Rice? Manny Ramirez? Nomar? Fisk? Dwight Evans? Bobby Doerr? Vern Stevens?


How many times have I been to Fenway has nothing to do with the laughable idea that Fenway Park is a haven for left handed pitchers. Its almost as idiotic as saying that the NHL should get rid of helmets but that is just a pointless opinion. The fact that the Red Sox best left handed pitcher in the last 70 years is Jon Lester should be proof enough.
