8 to 6

Yesterday Bob was gifted two tickets to the Knights game. I met him down town and we went to DJ's across from the JLC for dinner and off to the game. About 1/2 way through the second period I began suggesting maybe we could go home now.. they've probably scored all the goals they are going to (and I was cold). Was I ever wrong!

The final score for the Knights was 8 to 6. It was an amazing game..goal after goal. I like that kind of game because there's lots of action. What I noticed too, and this was the first Knights game I've been to this season, that as soon as two players began roughing, the ref was right there breaking it up. I don't know if this is new but I love it! I love the idea they may be trying to get away from the fighting and hence the potential concussions for the players.

This is after all the Season for Non Violence and even though it's just a game I do not like violence. I mentioned last Sunday that I've broken up three fights in the past. I didn't intend to.... it just happened. In other words something inside of me reacted as if I could not tolerate what I was seeing and HAD to stop it.

One was at a wedding.... two uncles were involved and one pushed a woman and she went flying over a table. I was on the dance floor and ran right over and got in between the two. I would not advise that, but that is a logical thought, I was in response mode. I stopped it for a few minutes but they went at it again and the police were called. Imagine...the couple were devastated that these two could not hold it together for one night and for the sake of their nephew.

Have you been in a similar situation? Tell me about it.
