Hey guys,
I have a a request for someone to make a chart. Since most of you are very smart and great at things like this here we go:
Is there a chart that we can make to prove or disapprove that the decline of fighting is leading to more penalties or mor specifically Game Misconduct penalties. It is a no brainer that dirty players now a days can pull this crap and they get what? A small ( to them ) fine and a slap on the wrist and they can continue.
Should we include ( which would be harder) lower levels like high school, college, ECHL, and CHL etc?
But in the older days of hockey, you had to deal with a much much larger goon chasing you down and IF..IF.. you were lucky.. you could still chew your food in the morning and not suck it through a straw.
The years we will take are 1980 - current. ( if you change it that's fine but tell me why because i'll be curious about it)
As for the penalties, I have sat here and thought it out and I can't seem to come to a conclusion on what to include, because even a simple slash may end up just a 2 min penalty, or in an extreme case slash means that player targeted a body part that could be a career ending/ life threatening thing.
I would either like helping seeing where to start with this project.. or if you think ( or have time) that it is easy then you may do the project.
I just want to see the result and show someone this because they posed the same question.
