Last night's cheap shot hit on Bruin Nathan Horton is just another example of hockey gone wrong. It is identical to the hit put on Paul Kariya in the Stanley Cup finals delivered by Scott Stevens. Both players dished the puck off and had long since given up the puck when a blind side hit was delivered. Unfortunately this kind of stuff isn't done only in the NHL. Officials from the Black Ice Pond Hockey Championship are reviewing the cheap shot put on Kurt "Kaiser" Gillies that has left him just a shell of the player he once was. Since the hit, the Kaiser has been acting odd and has to be told to leave the locker room on Thursday Nights. He has been observed going across the street to a gas station and buying excessive amounts of beer in the wee hours of the morning. He has ordered pizzas that he can't even afford. Action needs to be taken so that these kind of head injurys don't impair other Thursday Night stars. You look at the following photo and you be the judge. Is there a place in the 1883 Black Ice Tournament for this kind of savagery? We here at the Pucking Files don't think so.
