Hockey Prompt

I know it brings in the a lot of the crowd but I'm personally not a big fan of fighting in hockey. I understand its place in history as a way to serve immediate justice when someone targets your star players, or even your goalie, however this can be managed by stricter, consistent and more effective punishments on and off the ice.

I'm a fan of the speed and skill of the game. I want to watch Connor McDavid, Jason Robertson or Auston Matthews thread the needle with a pass, snipe the corner with a twisted wrister or hit the one timer on the power play. I was a hockey fan during the era of the goon. I watched Tony Twist, Kelly Chase , Bob Probert or Stu Grimson play in their "prime", and while it could be exciting, it took away from the finesse and temp of the game. I don't really miss seeing it in today's game and wouldn't mind it being removed all together.
