By Aaron Holm -
On a personal note, I'd like to take this small opportunity to promote the Polar Bear Plunge Minnesota. I'm going to be jumping in some icy cold water this year and am accepting donations for the Special Olympics of Minnesota for this ridiculous feat. Here is a link for my Polar Bear Plunge page if your interested, also a link has been affixed to my signature line if you see me roaming the comment threads. I take the plunge on March 1st and this is my first year, but I have a good team around me and a good cause to do this for, I'm pretty excited about it.

Christopher L. Gasper: NHL is losing fight with hypocrisy - Sports - The Boston Globe
These sorts of articles seem to be coming out weekly now. Whenever a team is soured by the culture of fighting in the NHL you can bet your boots someone in their paper has an article ready to go. Any NHL player who says that removing fighting will lead to anarchy on the ice simply needs to look to hockey leagues that don't allow fighting to see why their opinion is completely wrong.

NFL studying NHL's centralized replay system - CBSSports.com
More of a football story with a NHL twist. It might be wise and less time consuming for the NFL to take replay away from the refs and their (presumably) single screen method of doing things on the sideline.
