HOCKEY PROMPT

I think fighting is good for the game, and a part of the game that should stay, and not be arbitrarily removed. There's always going to be a need for fighting in the sport, mainly for the times that people get a bit too liberal with their actions towards your teammates, and they are either missed by the officials, or not actually penalties, but still generally dirty or frowned upon. If fighting were not allowed in the game, those games would devolve into either a tit for tat where cheap shorts are answered with cheap shots, or just an utter shitshow, as the game and players have no easy way to let off steam and tension from the game that will not result in a game misconduct. Fighting has been going away some naturally in the past several years, as the game has become more skilled, but there will always be the need for fights, even if they are few and far between
