I am absolutely tired of fighting in hockey. I think it is childish and ridiculous that it is still allowed. The other night My Father my two Brothers and I went to a pre-season hockey game that came to Regina in which the Flames and the Islanders played. A few of the big name players where there like John Tavares and such but the majority of players where unknown. Although there were a large amount of Flames Jersey's at the game you could tell the crowd just wanted a good game as they weren't really cheering one team more than another as they were announcing the players.
The game started off and the crowd wasn't really into to it until two guys decided to drop the gloves. A fight ensued and when it was done the crowd erupted, it was by far the loudest cheer of the night. Why did a fight get a louder cheer they John Tavares scoring a beautiful goal or any of the other 5 goals in the game. Or when Ramo (Flames Goalie) absolutely stoned one of the Islanders.
All other contact sports do not allow fighting, so why should hockey? In any other sport throwing a punch gets you kicked out of the game?
There are rules now a day's in hockey which disallow players to take their helmets off when they go to fight, as some players in the past have been knocked out smacked their head on the ice and have had severe damage to their head as a result. Players who like to fight now complain that when they fight a guy who wears a visor they fuck up their hands from punching a visor. This proves how unintelligent hockey players are! You need to fight so badly that you are willing to punch a guy in a visor, fuck up your hand, and then you bitch about it! There is a simple solution to this, don't fucking fight the guy!
I see no good reason for fighting in hockey, as it brings more stupidity into the game. There are players in the league, guys like Georges Laraque, Jamal Mayers, Colton Orr and many many others who are absolutely shitty at the game of hockey! All they are out there for is to fight and attempt to intimidate the other team! I don't want to watch a guy who can barely skate and who can barely control a puck make over a million dollars a year to play a great game!
I want to watch the skilled players! These big idiots are taking away jobs from smaller skilled players, who may have more than enough skill to play in the league but aren't big enough. But because these idiots are in the league there is no place for guys who aren't physically big enough, because the morons will just kill them! Sydney Crosby the best player in the league is constantly injured because morons keep taking cheep shots on him! Many great players get injured every year do to morons who aren't even hockey players and it all stems from fighting.
Remove fighting and these goons lose their jobs. These idiots lose their jobs and it opens up space for more talented players to come into the league, more talented players come into the league and it opens up more room for talented players to make plays as there are less idiots to just hang on the skill players like Sidney Crosby or Phil Kessel or Steven Stamkos. Those players begin to get better as they will be playing real hockey instead of this garbage the NHL is trying to pass as the sport.
The NHL needs two things to happen to allow hockey to be the great sport it is again! One they need to remove fighting from the game. and Two they need to start calling penalties! Refs don't call penalties like they should these days so players are getting hacked and slashed and cheap shotted all over the ice and the skilled players aren't allowed to play. They are forced to play a boring dump and chase games and grind on the boards with players twice there size. Refs use the excuse "I don't want to interfere with the game" Well when you aren't calling penalties which are against the rules of the game you are interfering!
They don't allow fighting and they call penalties all the time in world hockey such as the Olympics and the world juniors and that is the best hockey around.
