One reason the Komets said they could trade Jeff Worlton was because fighting is down all over the league. I did some research, and was a little shocked to see the results:
Last year through 33 games, the Komets had been called for 39 fighting majors including 17 by Worlton on his way to a league-leading 34. This year through 33 games the Komets have been called for 31 fighting majors including nine by Jeff.
Throughout the UHL, the numbers are also down. According to UHL Vice President of Hockey Operations Brad Jones, through the first 12 weeks of last season there were 2.34 fighting majors per game compared to 1.98 this season. Major penalties are also way, way down. Last year UHL games averaged 2.17 majors, and this year it's all the way down to 1.09 per game. That's an extremely good number when it comes to safety of the players in regards to boarding, high sticking and slashing majors.

Same Joker that is stealing other people's names and writing stupid comments to get fights started. Stop messing around on here. It's not funny anymore.
Yeah that is definetely not scoops. We discussed tonight what to do to stop the thieving of names. Blake-How bout making it so you have to register?? Don't know how hard that would be. To Scoooooop/tom123@aol.com, actually we don't get paid a dime for scooping. It's just fun so we do it. I think the general idea of Scoops statement was to turn the page on Jorde and Galbraith. The same things have been said 9 million times. That being said, I agree with the statements, its just that they are being beaten into the ground. These are the players we have. Hopefully, they will step up and become what we all want. At any rate, I thought they looked fairly solid tonight. Finally saw a few guys out in front of the net! Kinda interested to see the reaction to both Jorde and Galbraith scoring a goal. Didn't really think we needed the guy yelling "Jorde you suck" right before the national anthem. Probably Mr. Maturity that keeps posting under other peoples names. Go K's!!
I don't have the capability of making them register, but if someone is doing it I can elminate the posts if you let me know.
Can't we all just get along?
This is exactly why blogs are stupid
Blogs are stupid...but here you are commenting on one?
I'm a feminist now just because I had the balls to stand up and tell a sexist I didn't respect what they'd said? Interesting.

ANd all is forgiven, Hustle.
