Identifying football fans

[Gary Sapp & Karen J.S.]

Oh here we go, please don't trot that old chesnut out about how
violent hockey is.  The press loves to show fights but they are not as
common as that myth would have you believe.

There was a funny scene with a mascot and a coach this year however. 
The Calgary Flames has a funny dog mascot with a long tongue.  He was
leaning over the glass hassling the coach of another team (can't
remember which one at the moment) and the coach reached up and tugged
on the tongue and it came off!  Guess it could compare with the Medi
Wizard kicking Mustafa in the shins in GoF
