Dropping the Gloves: The one that's a few months late

by idunno723 on Mar 15, 2010 2:57 PM PDT

It's sad that when I first started writing this it was called "Dropping the Gloves: The one that's a few days late."

Triumphant return? Maybe...

HI welcome back to Dropping the Gloves. There hasn't been one in... a REALLY LONG time. Reasons why it went on a hiatus?

I have a life (stupid bloggers). Seriously, who has a blog?
School and such.
I'm kinda lazy.

So this post will not cover EVERY fight I missed, just the cool ones. And away we gooooooo!

First off Kent Huskins! Okay this isn't an amazing fight I just thought it was really funny.

Huskins is not a fighter, Boll is. Not much needs to be said about the fight. Boll destroys Huskins... Or you could look at it the way YouTube comments do. Huskins is the one with a Cup so in this case Huskins really got the better of the fight.

Jody Shelley vs. Eric Godard (again)!

Remember when Shelley did this to Godard last year? Well he did it again sorta. He didn't kick the crap out of Godard but he definitely got the better.

Gigantor Douglas Murray vs. Ben Eager

Crankshaft hasn't been fighting a whole lot this season but he's still a scary man. In this fight he still had his visor on and tried to take it off but couldn't. I guess Eager was (wait for it...) eager.

Frazer McLaren vs. Daniel Carcillo

A great hockey fight. Frazer is a tough guy, can't wait to see more of him in San Jose. Also note that Carcillo tried to take him down by the legs. Frazer knee'd him. I thought that was funny.

Marc-Edouard Vlassic and Daniel Briere... do something

...just LOL

Frazer McLaren vs. George Parros

Awesome to see Frazer take on mustache Parros. Parros may have won the battle, but it's nice to see the rookie hold his own.

Ryane Clowe vs. Jason Strudwick

Clowe has been fighting a lot this year and in this fight he got Strudwick good.

Jody Shelley vs. Cam Janssen

This is my favorite fight of Jody Shelley in a Sharks uniform. 87 seconds of great hockey fighting. I got tired from watching it.

Torrey Mitchell vs. Rene Bourqe

Funny to see Mitchell so fired up. I'd say he got the edge in that fight. Best part though? The scoreboard.

Ryane Clowe vs. George Parros

This might be the best fight of this post. Parro's mustache gets beat up by Ryane Clowe's fist.

Brad Staubitz vs. Nick Boynton

Staubitz... he can fight.

Jody Shelley vs. Colton Orr

Down goes Orr! Down goes Orr! What a way to end his career as a Shark. *tear*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's it for Dropping the Gloves... for a while. Hopefully nobody noticed I got lazy towards the end writing this.

No kidding. I thought this was an alterna-universe

Haven’t seen one of these in a long time.

Now if you can just talk to xarexarex about getting up the postgames…

Nice work, though. I hadn’t thought about a lot of those fights in a while. I forgot about the Clowe-Parros scrap and the Vlasic-Briere tickle-fight.

/cough

I can work on postgames again, but I’d noticed Plank doing it, and I think he’s probably better at it and I don’t wanna tread on any toes.

If The People will it, I’ll toss my two cents in this evening.

Plank may be the “professional” but I enjoyed reading your remarks.

I don’t know about others’ toes, so why would two people watching the same game and seeing different things harm anything?

Go xarexerax, go!

The problem is that having two recap threads split the conversation in the community— most will probably comment on the front page article (which TCY will be doing tonight), and maybe a couple comment on xarexerax’s. Now we’re stuck with a situation where we have two groups discussing the same thing in two different places.

One central location facilitates discussion, and if he chips in on the comments, I bet just as many people hear what he has to say.

I agree

I note that when I started working on them, there was no regular recap thread posting otherwise — far as I’m concerned, this is your show, and I’m the equivalent of a listener calling in to say my bit.

I liked your food roundup though that was fun maybe you can keep doing that give us food-heads something to munch on during game :)

That, I can get behind. The issue really is cost and time, it’s difficult to find reasonably-priced available variants of whatever regional food-item we can pick out — some opponents lend themselves to this more easily than others.

Of course, with playoffs around the corner, I’m not sure I’d be able to do that. Too many games against a single opponent; maybe we could do something based on home vs away or something, but again, it starts picking up cost.

What I really need is some good sources on regional microbrews. A beer for every team, I could certainly get into.

Maybe I’ll drum up something “Vancouvery” for tomorrow. If only we could get cheese curds around here, damnit …

I’m a HUGE foodie and you don’t have to do it for EVERY game but once in awhile would be stellar…it was so much fun reading all the stuff conjure up. My friend lives in WI and I have yet to try cheese curds mmmmm sounds delish.

Like last year when I used to do those recaps – I usually posted them in the comments somewhere (when K didn’t ask me to do his job, haha). Actually, now that I think about it, they were more period-by-period recaps. Boy have I gotten lazy this year.
