We must be watching different games because there is literally no fighting in the playoffs. Teams don't even let their goons on the ice in the playoffs. You don't risk sending your crappiest player out when your season is on the line, and you don't risk sending him out to start a fight when the other player could turn him down and now ur looking at killing off a penalty in the playoffs. It's very rare to see fights in the playoffs. They happen, but not often and only in a natural circumstance.

I'm in favour of a cap. Probably because I'm a die-hard Blackhawks fan, and they had the cheapest owner in the league before the lockout. Team bias aside, though, I still like a cap system. I much prefer the way the NHL and NFL are run than the way MLB is run. You can look at the MLB when teh season starts and point out 15 teams that are guaranteed to miss the playoffs. It's kind of a shame that so many teams have no shot to win every year. At least the NHL now, and the NFL have parity. Teams that are bad take a few years to get good and good teams eventually need to be bad in order to rebuild. 

You really can't use baseball as an example for salary caps.  Small market teams make the playoffs all the time.  The unexpected happens frequently and teams like Milwaukee, Tampa, Colorado, Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida have proven it doesn't take money to win.  Of the the nine highest payrolls in baseball, seven did not make the playoffs this year.

Since 2000 though, the NFL and NBA however have both seen at least one team winning three championships in that time.  Both run with their socialistic rule.

Also, baseball has revenue sharing to help keep small market teams alive.  Yeah, the Pirates and Royals both suck, and you could use them as examples, but they might not even exist without revenue sharing at this point.

And one last point, baseball has half the playoff spots as football or hockey, so yes, less teams make the playoffs.

Be for salary caps all you want, but please don't use baseball as an example if you don't watch the sport.

i hate peadophiles and rapists generally anyone who mentally and physically abuses women and children,quite honestly i'd sentence them to death when caught,let's see how commited they are to this shit,

fucked up laws,where i live recently they caught this peado with over 120,000 images and video's of abuse for distribution,he got two years,probably won't do it and then they get put back into communities without telling anyone in said community,i mean the mind boggles,you get worse for weed and ecstacy

i really hope these kind of people get some payback,i watched this hilariously bad movie last night called Graves End but it had a good line in it,

God sees everything and waits

Prison justice for sex offenders. Let the hard men on the inside deal justice to the offenders. The rule of the jungle runs the prisons on the inside. Sex offenders and child molesters are considered the lowest members of the prison population. Sex offenders are usually child victims of abuse who become adult offenders.  Vicious cycle repeats itself over and over. 

Sex offenders and child molesters are usually kept away from the main stream population. Vigilantism is rampant in prison. Some drugs or a packet of cigarettes would be a small price to pay to shake down or kill a sexual predator. 

When the sex offender do come out of prison- vigilantism and retribution awaits their return back to the community. Offenders are actually safer inside prison in isolated prison wings than being released back into the community awaiting vigilante mobs with pitch forks. Databases of known sex offenders leads to vigilantism.  There are no real successful rehabilitation of sex offenders, despite what the academics may say to the contrary. 

Most people hate the actions of sex offenders and pedophiles. They also have rights in a civilised country that respects human rights. In my opinion they are more than likely safer staying in special prison unit. Releasing them back into community and having their every move tracked and recorded is well worse than keeping them in a safe prison. Criminals are still human beings despite the evil actions they commit. 

Ahem... Not to stray further off topic, but I just wanted to say GO ROCKIES!!!!! Shame we completely choked in the World Series the first time we made it. I'd been waiting for years for us to get there and win. At least we accomplished half of that.

I take it your from Colorado considering you like all the Colorado teams I like?

Don't worry about going off topic even our communist friend Mr Mao was talking about sports in here.

Yes. I'm a huge fan of all the Colorado teams (though I admit I only really follow the Broncos, the Rockies, and the Avalanche).
