ziggy wants fighting. thats the bottom line and he is allowed his opinion.
where my opinion and ziggy's conflict is that he and those like minded fans dont want any reduction in fighting. they would be very happy to see more. while i think the time has come to check the optional fights at the door in order to save the required fights as part of the game.
Come on. Dont put words in my mouth. I do enjoy the entertainment factor of fighting in hockey. It adds an edge to the game which helps increase interest and viewership in todays more aggresive society.
I did not say that I would like to see an increase in fighting. I am satisfied with going to a game and seeing the odd fight. The building explosdes with energy and cheering and it makes for a great spectical besides a big hit or a nice goal. If there were eight fights a game....every game that would get very tiring very fast.
If two guys talk to each other and agree to a fight. So be it. It isn't WWE, someone is getting plowed in the face. It is better then having Bertuzzi situations were a player chases another around the rink and A) jumps them or B) Sucker punches them. Usually injuries occur in these situations.
I guess I am a bit rough around the edges and played competitive hockey were fights did occur. It has become part of Hockey for me and adds a rawness to the game.
I regress. I am done here lol.
I do appreciate and understand your view by the way. I am just sharing my take.
