Wish that Simmonds could have just gotten 2 minutes with that knucklehead!

Banana peels are better than the squid that those idiots up in Detroit launch onto the ice.

"HCN"...Does UH have a hockey team? I know that UTEP does. Would love to see UAB get one, though highly unlikely.

It's one thing to throw something onto the ice, that's part of the tradition of hockey, as when someone scores a "hat trick", or in the case of the Red Wings (one of my least favorite teams), tossing octupi. The Florida Panthers fans used to throw something unique on the ice, but I can't remember what it was. But it's another thing to go out of one's way to toss something at a player, and a lot can be read into an incident such as this. I wish Simmonds could have had the same chance that Ty Domi once had when a fan was dangling & heckling him from behind the penalty box he was seated in, and somehow, the jerk fell into the box right at Domi's feet. You can imagine what ensued after that.

Sorry no hockey team at UH but we do have a minor league team, the Houston Aeros, they are the farm team for the Minnesota Wild. I would love to see NCAA hockey move down south, I think that it would really work if given the opportunity. Who knows.

Thanks, "HCN." I love the AHL, wish that Birmingham had a franchise in that league, it's well supported and gets crazy love from the NHL Network. As for NHL in Houston, I'd like to see that, too. If it can work in Dallas, Raleigh, Tampa, Miami and Nashville, it can go over great in Houston. How's that Cougar football team looking this year? Are they going to be anywhere near the offensive juggernaut they were last season?
