Fighting being allowed is awful. I just don't get why it's accepted in hockey. It needs to end. - Krusty Mar 13, 10:03 5
- I would say Hockey is one of the most grown up of all sports. At the very least, one of the toughest. - JaxSean Mar 13, 10:08
- There is no end to the amount of wrong in this post. -- nm - Jim Mar 13, 10:04 3
  - There's no reason it should be allowed. None. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 10:07 2
    - Why should it *not* be? There's rules, there's penalties. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 13, 10:10 1
      - "penalties." In any other sport, wouldn't that kind of fighting result in long game suspensions? -- nm - Max Mar 13, 10:25
It's the spirit that's demonstrated in the film "Goon". -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 13, 09:47
that seems kinda stupid..... -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:31 13
- I thought it was great. These guys did their jobs and respected the effort of the other guy. - pmb Mar 13, 09:34 12
  - sure, maybe after the game hug it out, how can you do that 5 seconds after punching each other? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:37 11
    - It's not about hating the other guy. It's their job. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:41 10
      - it just looks kinda staged to me. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:43 9
        
        I think they basically got to the end and one guy said to the other "I think that's enough. I'm spent. Great fight," and the other reacts the same - pmb Mar 13, 09:45 8
        
        *remembers Tie Domi and Bob Probert, does not remember them hugging* nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:46 7
        
        I dated a distant cousin of Tae Domi once. It was so weird. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 10:03 1
        
        "Tie" -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 10:04
        
        Do you remember the McSorely/Probert fight when the tapped heads after? That was an epic one. -- (link) - Shaun Mar 13, 09:48 [youtube] 4
        
        McSorely was by far, my favorite goon. And the head bump is better than a hug. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:51 3
        
        You just made Stu cry. -- nm - spamlet Mar 13, 09:53 2
        
        Disco Stu should have moved on with my life. And now it's too late. -- nm - David Mar 13, 09:57
        
        ufck Stu Grimson. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 09:55
Similarly, I saw FB post comparing Lebron getting carried because of a cramp and the Stars player "Dying" and asking to go back in the game. -- nm - volnelk Mar 13, 09:24
