I love hockey and it is manly, but rugby is the manliest sport of them all.

Except for, you know, that whole thing where "most players and administrators continue to insist that fighting stay as a permanent element of organized ice hockey" see here.

That there is recognized etiquette to fights in hockey is another example that, at the NHL level, it is considered part of the game. I never said that fighting is what makes hockey manly. I'm merely pointing out that, for the NHL, most players, administrators, coaches, staff and commissioners recognize that it is part of the game.

To be honest, what makes Hockey manly, as far as I'm concerned is the speed, hits, grit and toughness the players exhibit. You can't be a wuss and play Hockey. You'll just get really badly hurt.


You can show me all the articles you want. Until they remove the penalty for fighting, it's not a part of the game.

I took issue with your statement that it's not a part of the game. Which was completely separate from whether or not fighting makes something manly.

In the NHL it is part of the game. Banning it has been brought up, but has been turned down every time because it is considered by the majority of players, owners, coaches, administrators and fans to be part of the game. Until it is banned I will consider it part of the game.

But it is banned. Hence why there's a penalty. What would banning it mean to you? Let's say they do "ban" it. What would change? They'd still get penalized. I have NO IDEA what your definition or that wiki article meant by "banning" when you still get penalized.

A penalty is not banning. Banning would be forbidding, and suspending players who do it.

This has been brought up before and turned down every time. Since the NHL doesn't think it's banned fighting, I'm not going to either. You can keep being delusional if you want to though.

But having a penalty does mean its banned. And yes, it is forbidden. You're forbidden from fighting in hockey, otherwise you get a penalty. You seriously just don't know what banning means I guess.

Suspending someone would just be adding to the penalty.

The NHL doesn't think it has banned fighting and considers it part of the game. You think they have banned it. That's actually funny to me.

Canadian Na­zism is a polite ideology, ok?
"Into the boxcar now... there you go. Oh, watch your head. Here, let me help you... Yep, showers are right through there. No problem at all."

Hockey fights are great. If you disagree, well, you're wrong.

Anyone else remember this insane shootout between The Rangers and The Capitals?

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

Big, clean hits > fights

They're out of their lockout.
