Is There Still a Place For "Goons" in the NHL Today?
11/23/2009
Hey watsup everyone. My names Ryan and I'm from Peabody,MA. I just recently became a featured columnist for the Boston Bruins.
I'm a diehard fan for everything that is Boston sports. I'm really into the Bruins and Patriots. I've been a Pats fan since they went to the Super Bowl in 96 and a Bruins fan since I went to my first game against the Hurricanes in 98. My hope is too one day have either Bruins or Patriots season tickets.
Being from Massachusetts I must say I love my Boston accent and yes I do say wicked alot. Right now I'm a sophomore. at Plymouth State University majoring in Criminal Justice.
Ever since I joined B/R I've become a better writer and while I write mostly about the Bruins and hockey I do like to read other articels that other people have written about other sports. If you read one of my articles I'd appreciate it if you would leave me some feedback so I can improve my writing.
I like Edelman a lot. He makes rookie mistakes but he's fast, quick and can play QB if, god forbid, we needed him to.
If they get another scorer, history tells me he'll be well past his prime or about to turn UFA and he'll cost us all the picks...

I agree with you. The days of "goon hockey" are coming to an end, though there are still quite a few in existence: Colton Orr, Jody...
The NHL has changed greatly over the years. Back in the 70's and 80's hockey was more of a grind it out game and much more physical. Over the years though it has changed and today it is more of a speed game...
