Rangers & Devils Bloody Brawl Starts Game

[FirstTimer]

Comparing something like blocking(which can actually be shown to have a tangible/real effect on the game) with something like fighting(which can't even be shown to correlate to goal scoring over something like a speech) misses the mark..yet again.

You don't need to bash heads to block. Sorry, need to be banned.

And last I checked OL/Dl aren't intentionally leading with the heads and hitting eachother in the head on purpose. If you can find me proof or comments that guys lead with their heads in the trenches on purpose to gain an advtantage and not as a by product of blocking itself in close quarters then you'd have a point...but you won't be able to so you don't.

I was listening to the mongos on Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption talking about this line brawl. Bunch of dudes who don't watch hockey and probably don't know the names of any of the six players involved without a cheat sheet, trying to tell the league what it needs to do about this. Yet another farcical example of the non-hockey world uniting to give their version of an expert opinion to those who really know the deal.

the best is when the league or the PA actually responds themselves, usually sounds like "we're not even thinking about it"

A player accidently taking a skate to the face during normal game action = a player getting drilled by a line drive in baseball. Many sports have inherent dangers in them during the course of normal game action.

These are =/= a stoppage in play for a fight.

You don't get hockey dipshit. Go watch college baseball and eat your peanuts.

Skate to the jugular does not equal goals: remove skates.

Preventing concussions and long term mental health problems is pussification?

You are so retarded with this tired argument.

If fighting was an non optional situation, then you'd have something, but it's not.

Combatants agree to the fight, they know what they are doing, these are grown men who have done this their entire life.

Fighting is a fucking choice. Get over it. Trying to protect someone from making a willing choice is so fucking retarded, but I don't expect you ass clowns to ever understand it.

Just awful. At least be sarcastic and somewhat on point.

Does MMA need headshots to work? Nope. Ban shots to the head please, thanks.

Yeah, trying to protect people and have better judgements be made based on scientific data is retarded.
