How is acting like schoolkids manly?

school kids?

You've obviously never played hockey
Yes, school boys. You're on the ice to play hockey, breaking up the game so you can have a scrap with an opposing player is unsportsmanlike and immature. It shows a lack of respect for the other team, your team, the sport.

But for some reason we just let fighting in hockey go. In the European leagues its absolutely forbidden. Which is why European hockey teams are put together with the actual sport in mind, not like our NHL teams who get some players specifically for their intimidation factor.


Which is also why the Europeans NEVER win at any international tournament.

Maybe to you but a lot of people view it as standing up for your team by showing that you'll fight for them. It's sportsmanship when both of them agree to it. It would be unsportsmanlike when 3 people rush 1 man and start beating him which never happens.

A lack of respect for your team would be NOT fighting for them when they challenge you.

Some players are not meant to be fighting, thats why these goons make 500k a year to protect their team.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Why is fighting for your team (although I reject the idea that anyone is actually "fighting for," their team) more sportsmanlike or respectable than playing for your team?

And no, disrupting a professional game of hockey so you and another player can knock each other in the head a few times is not respect for your team, the other, the league's or the sport. It's specifically disrespectful. And it's detrimental, because then you're sitting in the penalty box and taking yourself out of the game. You're more valuable as a player on the ice than a fighter in the box.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

please just leave and take your European fighting rules with you. You fight to defend a teammate. Someone hits your star player you fight them, it gets the crowd going, it energizes your team and is an all around morale booster.

That is why the fighting is allowed

That's also why hockey is the dumbest sport ever.

I don't play sports to prove my manliness, I play sports to defeat the opponent.

Either way, they fight like total wusses.

Why does that matter? You mad or something?

This fighting crap doesn't help score goals. It's pointless and stupid.

Hockey? You mean pansy-stick?

You fight to defend a teammate.
I've never seen this be the case. And even if it was it doesn't make it right.

Someone hits your star player you fight them,Why?

it gets the crowd going, it energizes your team and is an all around morale booster.Is that your argument for fighting in hockey? It riles people up?

That is why the fighting is allowedIt's "allowed," because it sells tickets. Technically it's not allowed, players get a slap on the wrist for fighting.

Exactly. Hockey is not a combat sport.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

I guess we shouldn't mention that they are like a bunch of women because they can't agree on a deal.
