Talking fighting out of the NHL is like taking part of the game away I have been an avid hockey fan for years and I think that the owners and GM's who really believe that taking fighting out of the game would be a positive thing must really not have a clear picture of the game. I like the game just the way it is meant to be played. I do not agree that someone should take out another player on purpose, but fights happen. don't ruin the game of hockey.

It never seams to surprise me the amount of IGNORANCE in America. "We watch hockey for fighting", "If you don't like fighting in hockey your not a true hockey fan". Bravo! The "Ultimate Fighting" crowd has voiced there opinion of how crucial fighting is in the game of hockey. What a bunch of BS!!!!! I wish fans like this would just go away. Hockey is such a fast, powerful, intense sport that takes such incredible talent, let the game speak for itself. Fighting in hockey should be a thing of the past. If you need to get your fix of seeing to idiots bash each others face in, then go watch UFC. I could go on and on about this subject, but let me just say this. Do you see fighting in other sports? If a lineman or WR takes a cheap shot in football, do they rip there helmets off and go at it? Not a chance. Why? Because they would get kicked out of the game or possibly worse. So why do we allow players in hockey to settle there differences on the ice, during a game, with virtually no ramifications? The idea of allowing players to "police" themselves, or "protect" there players is assinine. That's what the refs are for. And if the refs aren't doing it,(which frankly they aren't) then replace them or change the way they ref. Make the game better, faster, cleaner and I guarantee the viewers will come. And to the gentleman who swore he would never watch a game or go to a game if they got rid of fighting, good ridance, take all your buddies with you and go to a UFC match!!
