Hey Perry, .....

Firstly, thanks for the kind words. Yes, your analogy as to a Jai Alai performance being a collection of games was spot on. I just think that there's something about a sport where the athlete is an individual that should preclude itself from having it's athlete's jeered & cursed at. (Tennis, golf, hell even in boxing most observers are cheering for one guy to knock the OTHER guys' block off !)

Regardless, the occasional heckle is understandable, but no need to cuss.

Oh, and BTW, I asked my father in law as to the proper term for a hockey (blank). He played in the 50's and can remember the days when there were no backup goalies or facemasks! He had no idea as to the term, so everyone's buddy WIKIPEDIA helped us out.

"Hockey is a game that plays matches."
So I guess we're both right!

Hope to hear that Belmont story at Matt's one day !
