Was it Hockey, or was it WWE?

Tonite we all decided to go to a hockey game. Mike had a rough end to his week at work and needed to clear his mind. I knew it was Teddy Bear toss nite, but we hadn't purchased a bear for this because the decision to go to the game was a last minute one. Lucky for us, we were able to get one at the arena for $5. Boy was it an interesting game. Our seats were great. A little higher up than I would have liked, but great anyway. We were able to see every thing from where we were. And boy was that a game. We got several sports in one. Ice hockey, wrestling, boxing...We weren't sure by the end if what we had just seen was an ice hockey game, or WWE on ice... Below I have listed the penalties of the game. Most are typical of the sport, and the the urge to fight takes over the players, and let the fun begin!!! Green Bay did go on to win 5-2 which also meant free taco's from Taco Bell for all the fans. Any time GB scores 5, the audience all gets a free taco coupon. Twas a great night!!! Wish I would have taken the camera...oh well. There were several other ejections in the end, but I don't have all the players numbers that got that penalty. PENALTIES
Period 1 (typical hockey penalties)
Green Bay - Andrew Johnson - (Roughing), 2 min, 7:54Lincoln - Chris Vande Velde - (Charging), 2 min, 9:26Lincoln - Eli Vlaisavljevich - (Tripping), 2 min, 16:18 (tonite was Teddy Bear toss nite with all Teddy Bears given to children in the pediatric care units at local hospitals. All bears got tossed onto the ice after Green Bay scored their first goal of the game with 1:49 left before the first period ended. This resulted in the players getting their break early. With 6,536 fans in the stands (a new record), 4,700 bears got tossed. I'll post pictures once the post them on the web for me to find. Boy what a site to see!!!
Period 2 (a little rougher this period)
Lincoln - Trevor Bruess - (Hooking), 2 min, 2:45Lincoln - James Perkin - (Holding), 2 min, 8:33Green Bay - Kevin Deeth - (Fighting Major), 5 min, 18:24Lincoln - James Perkin - (Fighting Major), 5 min, 18:24Green Bay - Steve Silva - (Hooking), 2 min, 9:07

All this must have taken about 10 minutes to clear up before they resumed playing.Talk about your brawls. Gees, even the referees where tackling players to keep them from fighting.)
