Fighting in the NHL?


Many would argue that the NHL should ban fighting however, I'm the opposite and like the fact that teams have enfrecers to stick up for the young and talented players. Wayne Gretzky always had a big guy to protect him, and now the critics and NHL officials are trying to get rid of enforcers and fighting in general. The big fuss is over the young stars like Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, and the Staal brothers to name a couple. Its is true that NHL players are getting bigger and stronger. There are less fights and less people getting hurt from fighting, and hockey has grown into more of a speed and skill game. Todays hockey is like no other, the NHL teams have evened out and the playoffs should be a thrill to watch.

I tend to agree with you. I don't like to see fights get out of control, but usually they don't. People tend to get hurt more with high sticks or suckerpunches from behind or bad hits. I think that if fighting was to be illiminated completely, you could see a lot of pent up anger that could be channeled very dangerously.

I agree with you too. I think that it is wrong. Okay maybe like shoving and some punching but not anything harder like beating each other with their sticks or kicking each other with their skates.
