. It may seem "unnecessary" which is fine but how can one argue it doesnt fundamentally change the nature of the game ?

Because you can watch playoff hockey, see less fights and notice little to no difference. Stars aren't being taken out. Buildings aren't burning down. The world isn't ending. When you watch olympic hockey..if you do..does the nature of the game seem different or worse? There's no fighting there. If you see any game without a fight does anythign seem "off"? Is it less of a game? No. Fighting "supporters" like leaffan already admit fighting is going away...and they don't seem concerned that hockey will cease to exist or the game will be worse.
 
The goal of hockey is to put the puck in the net. Fighting isn't needed for that to occur or not occur. Checking, passes, etc are intrinsically important to it happening or not. Legislating things fundamentally needed acts in order for scoring to take place or be prevented is not the same as legislating something as ridiculous as fighting in hockey.
 
Are you serious with this stupid shit.

See Rosetta's post above.



Yes because people hauling vital supplies and giving us energy are comparable to a goon doing something that isn't even a necessity to win at his sport.

Do your retarded family give you these points to argue?

ZOMG. Hockey is dangerous. How do you allow the army to exist if you prohibit fighting in hockey?Q?Q?Q?





You fucking goon.

Fighting isn't "needed" in hockey. Leaffan has already stated that fighting is going down. Is hockey somehow at risk of ceasing to exist as a result? Of course not. Therefore fighting is not "needed" in hockey because it could cease to be allowed tomorrow and hockey would move on just fine. Anyone who thinks otherwise is mentally disabled.

What kind of stupid point is this? Remove all aspect of sport that don't involve point accumulation? :rofl:

Hockey is a sport driven by emotion, IMO, more so than any other sport. Fighting is a part of the emotion and can galvanize a team, you'd be aware of this if you've played hockey at any level that involves fighting. But instead, you've never worn skates and seem to know how the sport works.

C'mon armchair hockey player, tell us how the people on TV said....err, how you think it is!

You're worse than Twigg arguing how video games he's never played work under the hood.


I don't know why anyone passes in sport, that doesn't get you goals. Everyone should just shoot once they acquire possession of the goal scoring object.

Vanilla sports, brought to you by the Sharla Brovlovski's of the world. Telling grown men how to live their lives since 2011.


You're not allowed to fight in hockey! You might get hurt, sorry, find another career. Now excuse me while I go guzzle back a 12 box at the pub and illegally be intoxicated in public while I stumble home...and don't you dare tell me I can't break the rules! Only you pro fighter, you can't, but me, I can do whatever I want!

Let me guess, anti choice and don't support pulling the plug either? Let em suffer! No choice for anyone! Rape babies for all the wimenz! You don't get to live your life, there's one way to doing it and that's my way!

next 4 hours "you fucking faggot are stupid" rinse/repeat + random gif.

That is actually not how it went down, and you are misrepresenting the facts.


All irrelevant to the fact that you are certainly saying some really dumb shit.

Fighting isn't needed in hockey, the people fighting in hockey suck ass at fighting anyway.

It's cute when you try to troll, because you suck at it. You still made the serious argument that taking fighting out of hockey, is like taking away rights from rape victims.

:facepalm:

It's cute when you act like an internet tough guy, I'm intimidated, but you suck at it.

Glad the both of you believe I'm comparing the two when I was mocking with exaggeration some dumb fuck's conception that he can tell people how to live. Glad you're that fucking dense you meathead.

:alone:
 
I guess the part that's been forgotten in this whole thread is WHY exactly is fighting relevant to the sport for those who think it is?

I don't buy the "to fire everybody up" reason. Should I fight a guy in my bowling league because my team didn't have enough intensity? There's plenty of ways to get people ready to go other than dropping the gloves.

To me, it seems like a totally self-run, separate act that happens between two useless 4th-line players for no purpose whatsoever other than to get a few cheers from the crowd. If that's what it takes for a hockey player to get motivated, then this argument was over long before it started.

I'm not acting, I am an internet tough guy, dumbass.

I don't know what the second paragraph is saying, because while calling me a meathead you must have left a word out or something.

EDIT: upon re-reading I realized no words were missing, only logic is absent.
 
Okay so here's my take ...

- head trauma is bad

- The NHL agrees head trauma is bad and is going to great lengths to prevent, treat and reduce it ...

- The NHL allowing players to punch each other on ice is counterproductive to their efforts to reduce/prevent head trauma

- Thus, the NHL should eliminate fighting as part of their effort to reduce/prevent head trauma
