Any thoughts on the Bertuzzi mess?

I have seen only one Hockey game live and that was in Helena, MT, and while I found it to be very fun to watch, I still wouldn't watch it on TV.
Hockey seems def. like a sport to see live and not on TV

and where you live encompasses the entire U.S.?
Hockey is clearly a regional sport, which is popular in a lot of northern states and Canada, unfortunately most people don't particulary like Hockey in the U.s., much to the dismay of Hockey fans in Canada and the northern U.S.

The reason hockey is better than basketball, amongst other things, is that it rewards discipline and the players aren't a bunch of big pussssssies.

I find this statement ridiculous in context of a thread discussing a mess created by an All-Star caliber player and vital member of his team demonstrating a complete lack of discipline by cowardly suckerpunching a guy from behind.

That's precisely why it's shocking. Come on now, were you really "shocked" when Latrell tried to choke P.J. Carlesimo to death?

Live hockey is absolutely awesome. However, the game really seems to fall apart in the transfer to TV.

I love hockey, and I'm forced to agree with you here, with one exception. Hockey on HDTV is excellent. You can see all the details that are merely inferred on a normal broadcast. It makes watching the game a lot easier, and more exciting.
