It's part of the game........

I agree.

Here is my thing about fighting in hockey.. ready?

Fighting is part of the game (Pro and Juniors) when a team is sluggish from being jet-lagged or whatever and the opposing team is in control that is the time for a fight, imo, Its gets the fans into the game, and gives the teams that extra spark. A single fight can totally change the momentum of a game. NO, the players do not hate each other though, those times do come once in a while but are rare. NO, I do not want to see 5 zillion fights in a game.. sure, I wouldnt mind a couple slug fests though :) With rivalry games... MTL/BOS, OTT/TOR, Rangers/Isles, EDM/CGY, DET/COL... etc, etc.. Fights WILL happen more than once and that is part if the rivalry and the fans enjoy it, IMHO. yup.
 
holy crap! no wonder none of then have teeth! i love how the ref just stands there like there is no way in hell i am getting between those guys! lol
 
fighting in hockey isn't just about boosting team moral(it does help though), it's about respect!!!!!!!!!!! hockey is, or was at least, a self policing sport! someone highsticks me or a team mate, they get the crap pounded out of them. someone hits the goalie(major no no), they get the crap pounded out of them!!!! if you think that you're gonna have to fight if you elbow, highstick, slash, or any other garbage stuff, mostly likey you're not gonna do it!!!!!!! thus it cuts down on injuries from said acts as well. like i said, it is, or at least used to be, self policing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
