And that's exactly why the fighting is not discouraged. So be it, but it's not for me.

I like the fighting but I dont go to a game hoping there is a fight. id rather see goal scoring.

Fighting in hockey = wreck at a NASCAR race.

People state they hope there isn't one, but as soon as one happens - they are on their feet .........

You are obviously the only one here who knows anything about hockey, the practice of medicine, or violence. We bow at the throne of your greatness! Thank you for the enlightenment.

Anytime.

I should have know better than to repond to a thread about hockey on a reef site. I am sure, if i went into a hospital and told a bunch of doctors, I was a student of medicine: but, I never went to Med School. I would be laughed out of the room.

Your description of hockey in your first post was not correct. You saw that for yourself, when you attended a game. With the new rules. Hockey is not the game, of years past. Fighting is a very small, but important of the game. Unless you have play it, you just don't understand.

Fighting has it's place in the NHL.

Why don't they just go to a boxing match then?

Last night, a young "would-be student of medicine" shadowed me for eight hours in the ER. He is trying to decide if he wants to pursue his interest.

I don't go to a game to watch twelve rounds of fighting. I go to watch the sport of hockey. If there is a fight, I'm going to root for the guys on my team. Hockey isn't about fighting, but there is a place for fighting within the sport. Guys don't just fight to fight.
