Is fighting actually accepted in this sport and what (if any) are the repercussions of it? The commentators were very blaise about it. e.g. “He swings right… he fakes left… POW! That was a beaut…” and “Look Bill there’s a real good one starting in the middle, such and such is the smaller man but i fancy his chances in this one” Unreal…
I remember watching a New Jersey Devils game where Scott Stevens gave some fella a proper hiding,he knocked 7 shades of shite out of him and then skated off to the bin without a care in the world,great stuff!!
Funny a lot of these hits are from Canadians but their the ones pressing for a more sanitized game. Yanks are all for the brute voilence. Lets face it, Ice hockey would be boring as fook without it. Game 4 tonight should be good
