I would prefer the Sonics back. The only good thing about hockey are the fights. I've always wondered why in sport fights....in football the players wear helmets and full pads and are standing on soft grass, but the fights are stopped immediately. In baseball fights, players jump on anyone and square dance until it's over. But in hockey, they let them fight, standing on slick ice, with no helmets, wearing razor sharp blades on their feet. Gotta respect that level of brutality.
