Hal Johnson Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 An Inevitable part of the game. Couldnt get rid of it if you expelled every player who fought indefinately. You'd run out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 i like the fighting. it's a good honest part of the game. and those that argue it's not, well, there are penalties for fighting, so how come that doesn't appease you?ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 An Inevitable part of the game.An absolute waste of time. It may have been an integral part of the game back in the days when everyone basically fended for themselves. Now with the designated goon system, it's just a couple of thugs taking bench space and ice time from someone who can actually play the game.

Schwa. Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think if the game does open up and get speedier like they're hoping, you will see more of an 80's style of hockey with more skilled players per capita and the addition of bodyguards to protect them.

THey're both extremely talented, are they just taking valuable bench space from the goons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most coaches instruct their players to leave the fighting to those whose presence in the penalty box (and absence from the ice) will not actually hurt their own team. In fact, if fighting brought an automatic game misconduct and suspension (as it does in every other professional sport), players of talent would be even less inclined to waste their time.

Jaimoe Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Fuck I hate goons like Iginla, Thornton, Foote, Primeau and Chara.These guys fight when it is the right and only thing to do - and they don't care if they lose. If there were more guys like these ones, the league wouldn't need designated tough guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
