I don't know who said it equates to wins or losses, because that's not true. It can help a team get engaged in a game they were otherwise flat or raise a level of awareness/accountability

Which would help them do what...............................................

Just say it.

Not man enough to just come out and say it, has to beat around the bush.






Fighting in the NHL is on pretty steep decline. Do the NHL teams today seem less engaged? Are the games worse?

And I'm not man enough to run cross country. Only real men do that. In spandex.

True.

Care to explain to rugby players how they aren't man enough to have fighting in their game? Football players?

Is anyone else disappointed in FT?

It's almost like getting the 2015 version of Kimmo Timmonen...

Nah, I'll likely watch playoff hockey with everyone else or just go to the game. There is no fighting and it seems really popular.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago White Sox
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Nebraska Cornhuskers
  2. Villanova Wildcats
Sometimes, sure. It's just a different/another way to do it. There's times though where you just can't get to/make that hit you need or want to.

I mean, I guess I just don't understand how fighting, which leads to a player sitting for 5 maybe more minutes, helps/fires up/physically engages/motivates/gives momentum/whatever more than a big-time legal check.

I've also seen people steal things. Does that mean robbery is permissible?

So there are rules against fighting, and rules when fighting occurs. Seems like it's considered a part of the sport. Sorry if permissible was not the correct word. I know that it's "against the rules" but players are allowed to engage in fights and there are rules that govern fighting.

All the sports you cite fighting is strictly forbidden, players are ejected, suspended and so on. Hockey is different. Just sayin'

Why is this so hard for you to understand?

Seems like there are rules against robbery, and rules for when robbery occurs. Seems like it's considered part of life.

Breaking news from HHM: Hockey is not football.



This does nothing to address the point of fighting being needed, necessary, or even logical.

Fighting is "allowed" in hockey. Yeah, we know. It's dumb that's it allowed. That's kind of the point.

Hockey is also not robbery. Just want to clarify that.
