HOCKEY PROMPT

I firmly believe that fighting in hockey belongs to a past era and has no place in today's game. Gone are the days of a player whose only purpose is to fight and they have no business in the league. Most fights these days are completely unecessary and add nothing to the game, except entertain the few people who still like them. A minority of fights end with an injury, but that's such a dumb way to get injured that if I were a general manager or a head coach, I'd be beyond pissed if one of my players gets injured in a fight. This is not an era were goalie wore thin pads and no masks and players played without helmets. Hockey has changed and there's no place for fights in today's game.More and more leagues are banning fights entirely and the quality of play and the entertainment value hasn't changed, so I don't see why the NHL couldn't follow in these footsteps.
