Local Hockey: Fresno Monsters vs. Idaho Steelheads

Idaho stuck an elbow to one of the Monsters head and sent him to the hospital and Idaho did not get a penalty. The Monsters fought back.

When I was a kid in Illinois, we had ice skating outdoors for p.e. in the winter. How the fuck can Fresno have a damn hockey team. My sister in-law grew up there and from what she says about the place, ice was found only in freezers. I haven't seen any surfing competitions in landlocked states.

That is a valid question. But I guess it's the same way Arizona also has a team. It's all indoors. 100〫outside and 40〫inside.

The guy in white you jumps in to make it two-on-one in the corner should be suspended.

The rest of it was a pretty standard line brawl.

Remind anyone of a movie? God, it's like it was lifted from Slap Shot.

Where do you think they learned it from?

Sid - watch Youngblood sometime if you want to see a midly more interesting hockey movie. Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze are in it. Typical bad 80's movie, but with hockey storylines.

Oh yeah, hockey in Fresno and kicking every-body's ass. 38 wins, 3 losses, 0 Ties, and 1 OT loss. First year together and they are dominating the league.


FRESNO is a great place to live. Low cost of living, anything you can ask for. About one million people in the county. I can ride about 350 days a year, 2 1/2 hours to Yosemite, San Francisco, Monterey Bay. And Ice Hockey.

Here is an unrelated video just for the hell of it.

US Under 20 Junior team this year had a kid from Cali and a kid from Oklahoma. One benefit of the expansion of the NHL is the money the teams put into local youth hockey from the bottom up.

Whatever happened I'm thankful. We lost the Falcons (poor business management) and we had to go without local hockey for one year until the Monsters came to town.
