Fantasy Hockey Team Name

I figure that naming a fantasy hockey team is like naming a rock band. Anthrax, Staind, Spinal Tap.

I thought of the most obscene thing that could happen in hockey and came up with

CROSBY's CONCUSSION

(can I get some horror wiggles on that? No? okay)

Wayne Gretzky's early retirement was forced by the lack of respect for skill that came to characterize the boring game, the one Brett Hull criticized.

Now we've got the excitement back, the league feels it can be even more exciting if it encourages blood on the ice.

So although we don't have clutching and grabbing, the league is enforcing mediocrity by permitting headshots and other injuries.

Although the reaction to the McAmmond hit is a good start, it seems that there was a cheap shot before that hit that was unpunished.

Similarly, when Crosby speared Blake last year, it was for a reason. When the provocation is on tape, even if it wasn't penalized during the game, it could count against the suspension.

But if the league punished the enforcers of mediocrity, there would be less blood on the ice.

That's the path to Crosby's concussion.
