Anyone see the program on the NHL Network tonight about the oldtimers barnstorming team made up of old NHL characters?Probert and Nilan on the same team and they love each other like brothers now but used to go at it in every game they ever played against each other.
It struck a chord with me,has there ever been an all out fight during an NHL game where teammates went at it?Sounds like a minor league publicity stunt that the late and great Paul Harvey would have talked about the next day on his radio show.What the hell would the refs do?Call a delay of game penalty I suppose?
Now that's a scenario they could have used in the movie Slapshot where the Hanson Brothers did it.It could have occurred because one of the brothers stole the other one's Hot Wheels car.Too bad they never made a Slapshot 2...I guess now that Newman is dead and all the characters are probably in nursing homes,it's too late for that but they could get a replica acting crew with a good script and it might work.It would beat the crap movies coming out of the sesspool known as Hollywood now.
