Watching this great show on FSN North (641 on Directv) about the Fighting Saints of the WHA. War clear boards, fu manchu mustaches, the Carlsons, and the WHA. There is a hillarious picture of the 4 goalies for Minnesota and New England watching a bench clearing brawl.
It is going to be shown again on Tuesday night at 5 PST.

wowzers...i only hope they can do a documentary on old school minor leagues like the IHL in the 70s with the legendary Toledo-Ft.Wayne brawls involving the players and fans.

The interviews they had were great...Jack Carlson, coach Harry Neale, and several others. They had collection bowls set up at the St. Paul Civic Center when the team wasn't making payroll.
