Playoff Fighting?

[Tater]

For awhile I thought Sharp was exactly the guy who more NHL teams needed: a player who can actually play hockey that still wasn't afraid to drop the gloves if need be. Had a brief tilt with future teammate Kopecky back in the day.

Bonus that they both removed their helmets/visors. Why don't you much of that anymore?

Idk who you are, IHN guy I'm guessing? Haven't seen you post much. But anyways, I like you.

He was the owner of IHN.

Do Canadians eat crow like normal people?

Kanadians do nothing like normal people.

You must not have saw what happened. Bollig tried to engage. Torres Turtled. Torres got zilch. The 'hawks had to kill of 7 mins. That's not a Fighting issue, that was an epic fale of everyone charged with player safety. The Ref's didn't handle it (and quite frankly should have been fired for not handling it), and Bollig got hit hard with PIMs--which in that scenario the 'hawks were screwed either way. The 25 games (which Count Von Buttman reduced) didn't really enter into it.

Now, in the days of guys like Probert, Torres would have gotten pummeled whether he turtled or not--or whether or not the linesman tried to hold Probert back.

IMHO the league can't have it both ways--either they're serious and they start throwing the book at guys who play cheap and get rid of fighting, or they don't penalize guys for trying to protect their players from cheap play when the officials won't.

Best post in this thread. Thanks for adding common sense here.

Rather than fighting in the playoffs they should square off and each have a bucket of pucks to chuck at one another.

You don't see much of that anymore (I believe that is what you are asking) because it is a penalty when you do so at the NHL level. Rightfully so. It is pretty damn dangerous when both players rip off their helmets and fight...and the most dangerous part is the take down (which has unfortunately become a bigger part of fights). Happens a lot at the AAA level, Junior Hockey, etc because players either have to wear cages or visors. Can be very dangerous.
