Occasional Distractions (2025 edition) SPORTS

Sunday, February 16, 2025 13:00

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

[This is now going to be my, every B4IN article, standard opening (as of Dec. 19, 2024):
I get it, I really do, all these outlets are operating as a business… And how do they make money? Advertising! (more continues: /media/2024/07/click-bait-here-click-bait-there-everywhere-click-bait-2515961.html )
Yes, sorry, frankly I TOO find especially the initial Ads (they pile up, to be able to get them viewed in case someone doesn't read the whole article) here interrupting a nice/natural Read flow and are ANNOYING (but it keeps the Site FREE FOR VIEWING no Pay Wall to have to BUY your way past) and conversely their annoyance may indeed keep some from wanting to bother (so, Please, there is some GREAT CONTENT here on B4IN, keep reading the entire pieces despite the annoying Ads) and note if you engage an AD BLOCKER often I have found it/they can cause issues with seeing all the intended article content --- don't want you to miss any of mine, nor anyone else who posts here entire content as intended! The authors images (some or all), videos (some or all), their intended cross-reference links (vs Site produced Ad links, the easy Share-At/On buttons, and more, might also get "blocked" from viewing. And so now, to catch any NEW Readers, I too adding to annoyance having to repeat this over and over. My apologies. I endeavor to always give you DETAILED WRITINGS (and cross-reference related links with other rabbit-holes you can go down) hopefully you'll deem worthy of putting up with the annoying Ads to engage in/with.
I am NOT fond of the changes, but I have been with B4IN a long time now - certainly not looking to leave.
Lastly, note: I also wrote for TheLibertyBeacon (https://www.thelibertybeacon.com/?s=Joseph+M+Lenard), where I dropped pieces (normally weekly) on Saturdays for the last 3 years (and even RedState back when) and now joined and dropping pieces via SUBSTACK (https://tinyurl.com/JLDonSubstack).]

OK, if you haven’t yet seen my offering DISDAIN for those that make drive-by/pot-shot articles/blogs devoid of any real details and substance as #CONTEXTmatters #FACTSmatter #DETAILSmatter etc…. HOWEVER, I’ve said over and over for every Rule can be exception(s) and YES this is another exception to my Rule to avoid doing that which I sometimes complain others do far too often (some ALL THE TIME, they never have anything with History/Background and Detailing beyond their current drive-by/pot-shot post… But, unlike those other pot-shot (as I call them) posters, I indeed will be including some “related items” for further journey down these topics/sub-topic rabbit-holes…

So, with that, here goes… Oh, yes, one more admission, another bit of a “cheat” from me here in that below is copy/paste from my 15+ Social-Media platforms…

People do not want FIGHTING in HOCKEY. LMFAO

Did you see the #Canada v #USA game Sat. Feb. 15th

The Crowd went WILD as several Fights broke out in just the first few minutes of the Game – why wait? just drop the Gloves at Face-Off. LOL

Talk all over Radio, clips all over Internet and TV, Social-Media lit up, etc….

BUT, some still whine, moan, complain, THEY WANT FIGHTING OUT OF HOCKEY.

Well, DO NOT WATCH IT THEN and GTFO cuz the majority of folks understand the how and why it has been engrained uniquely in Hockey aside from all other Sports (well, other than Boxing and the like that is all and only about “Fighting”)!!! LOL

Replays of the Game likely to top Ratings of when it was shown LIVE as word-of-mouth spreads about what you may have missed if you didn’t Watch Sat. Feb. 15th!

============================

And, YES, I played Hockey growing up on and into High School. However, I was a Goaltender. REGARDLESS, though, I did get into a Fight once. Rather I should say I came out of the Net after someone that interfered with me in the Crease and started pounding on him. He turtled, he didn’t know what to do, this was back when long before Goalie’s EVER got into Fights.

The Goalie doesn’t serve a Penalty (generally, a Trip, a Rough, a Cross-Check, whatever) someone else on the Ice at the time goes into the Penalty-Box to “serve” the Penalty. The Officials on the Ice were equally perplexed what to do and they chose the only real course of action and assessed me a Game Misconduct which then indeed meant I had to leave the Ice or potentially ALL HELL could indeed break loose if the other Team then decided they would need to avenge their Team-mate I beat the crap out of. LOL

I was going to embed a picture of me back when in my gear, but while I know I have some actual prints seems I’ve never digitized one to have on on my PC at this point to be able to share. LOL

I used as a prop, held up (for the camera for BTS/SP Video version, and spoke to) my Hockey career scrap-book that my Mother put together year after year of my Youth Hockey days. That episode was “CTP Honoring Family 20241123 S2ENovVideoExclusive”

some “Behind-the-Scenes” Video versions of CTP Show found via DailyMotion, BitChute, Brighteon, and/but mainly…
