Prompt #2

Fights in hockey for me are interesting just because I haven’t been involved in following hockey as much as 1) many other people on this forum who follow hockey and 2) other sports in general like baseball or basketball. I do enjoy a fight here or there but only if another person did something retaliatory such as an unneeded shove or a swipe to the face. I don’t think you should fight simply because you want to and while it has I think decreased in recent years I know in the past people fought just because someone stared at someone the wrong way. (Granted again this could just be my relatively limited knowledge of hockey so I could be wrong here) If someone decides to attack my teammate in a way that wasn’t just trying to shove the puck out or slam someone against the wall, though, bring it on suckers. I can’t allow that to happen to my teammate, regardless of the intent. In those situations I will be more than happy to throw the fisticuffs and I’d be glad to see it happen in the actual NHL.
