Should they crack down harder on the fighters or should they ease up?
My thoughts are... I like it when players fight. I think everyone does. It is the result of a very aggressive game and it means tensions are high.
My problem with the way the NHL is on fighting is that its kind of a Catch 22 to be a tough guy now, and your Bob Proberts and Tie Domis are a dying breed. Because for players like Derek Boogaard, his job is to go out, play aggressive, stand up for his players. And thats what he does. He gets a big hit, and it motivates his team. But with the way the league cracks down on these guys, they are watched under a microscope, and almost warned before they have done anything. And then what you find is aggressive playing by Joe Thortons and Jerome Ignlas, they are let go, but Boogaard and Anson Carter is called for elbowing and high-sticking.
Any thoughts?
