Your missing the point, I dont need to provide proof. This isnt global warming where I DO have skin in the game. This is, in essence a form of entertainment. I can say malkovitch is a great actor and should be more popular than the kardashians. It dont change didly.
if you want to watch, watch. If fighting troubles you either stop watching or try to convince the players of the error of their ways. But what you cant do is say "we, the extreme minority are going to cry wah-wah-wah until you change the game to our liking against the overwhelming number of fans and players"
People who think that sport (as a form of entertainment) is equivalent to science are so horribly deluded i dont know if there is a path back.
As to the notion that the goal is to score more and that fighting does not contribute to wins, i will remind you the nhl is a professional spotsleague. Their job is to entertain and get you to part with disposable income. If their clients overwhelmingly support it, their partners as wellhead(the pa) that we should cater to te extreme minority whi likely approach the rag tag bunch of losers who protested the cunneyworth signing, because they go wah-wah-wah?

You're half right. Enjoying hockey isn't a science. However, measuring success in hockey is. It's disingenuous to play the "It's entertainment" card when this thread is about what the Habs need to succeed, and NOT what do you personally like to watch.
