I look down my nose at those that go to hockey to see fights...

yet when they happened I ran right down front, gleefully, to cheer on our guys beating on the other guys.

It's ugly but I don't care. Next up...lions.

Ya know...I don't go to Blues games specifically to see a fight...but I'm always disappointed if there isn't one. -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 07:09 10
- its like they aren't really putting their heart into the game if there's not one - Epiphany Feb 10, 07:10 9
  - and yet some writers think fans hate fighting. More players are injured by cheap shot hits and stick work than have ever been hurt in a fight - Beaker Feb 10, 07:12 1
    - Wilbon knows the majority of NHL fans do not want to see the fights go away. - Diva Feb 10, 07:28
  - it adds an element of tension I think. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 07:12 6
    - near the end of the goalie fight Price could have laid into Thomas, but instead just chatted - Beaker Feb 10, 07:14 5
      - story i heard on the radio recently... - zork Feb 10, 07:18
      - It seems very ritualized and with almost formal procedures. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 07:16 3
        
        It was funny when there were 6 guys in each team's penalty box and they were all laughing and yelling at each other across the official. -- nm - Diva Feb 10, 07:18
        
        I miss the days of Bob Probert and Tie Domi. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 10, 07:17 1
        
        i wouldn't mind if fighting disappeared but while it's in it can be exciting (although most "fights" are pretty disappointing) -- nm - zork Feb 10, 07:21
