There has been talk, especially during this young NHL season, about the possibility of banning fighting in hockey. The basis is from the injuries that occur from players when they fall to the ice and get seriously injured.
Most non hockey fans just love the fighting and that's it. If you're a hardcore fan or even if you're not, what are your thoughts?

Honestly, I go back and forth on this....... But I think it is a sideshow that makes the sport into a bit of a mockery. The game should be about the game not about two boneheads trying to Happy Gilmore each other.
Buuuuut.... Sometimes when tensions get high and players are getting pissed... I don't mind a good scrum. When I don't like it is when two players go onto the ice throw down their gloves and start approaching each other like a showdown in Madison Square Garden.

More news to help fuel the fire on the debate of fighting in hockey has surfaced. Former Colorado Avalanche enforcer, Scott Parker aka "The Sheriff" recently stated, in an article with Adrian Dater of the Denver Post, that he is suffering from the effects of concussions. In the article, Parker suggests that he has suffered from at least 20-25 concussions, participated in approx 400 fights and absorbed approx 4000 punches to the head. That is a staggering amount of blows to the head and this article is very concerning. Parker was one of my favorite all time players and this just adds fuel to the debate of outlawing fighting in hockey. Based on this article, does your view change of fighting in the game of hockey? |
