Even when ice/equipment made for a slower game, it was still fast. Refs knew they missed stuff, and players took to taking care of their own business sort to speak. It’s evolved overtime with an entertainment variable now in the mix. Also- fists are much better than swinging sticks, so if 2 guys drop sticks/gloves, refs let them settle it, don’t want stick swinging/spearing occurring if they can help it

People throw haymakers in Rugby and just get a timeout.

This anti-fighting campaign feels pre-planned.
Somebody is in hysterics because Rempe has been bringing the excitement of the 1990’s again.
Furthermore, why does hockey have to be exactly like other sports in every aspect? Its a nonsense question.

They don’t let them fight though. It’s against the rules, and players who break those rules receive major penalties.

For the record, lacrosse is another sport where they let the players fight.

I always answer the fighting question, to non-hockey people, like this:
It’s not allowed… because it’s penalized. The question is, why aren’t the penalties more severe? Shall we discuss the pros/cons of fighting so we can debate what an appropriate penalty should be?

Refs enforce too Players continue to enforcing if they collectively deem the punishment mandated by the refs or lack there of… was punitively insufficient. Also sometimes a teams gets off to a slow start and an enforcer has to kick someone’s ass in order to wake up their own team. Hockey culture is Fkn beautiful… but def weird!

Just get over it, it is what it is and has been for a long time. The game will continue to roll on as it always has, And its more fine-tuned than ever

Fighting is allowed in hockey because the sport has a perfect way of dealing with fighters by putting them in the penalty box.
Other sports don’t have that system. What’re you going to do in football? Make the fighting players have to sit out for a couple plays? Make the teams play 10 on 10?

Best product the team has put out all year.
That’s hilarious
