What does that even mean I can if I was there to be? Nice cop out.


Well, it's not a cop out. It's a very subjective thing and people generally reach the conclusion they want to reach.

I'm 100% sure there are racial undertones to the word, to some people.

The NHL has been trying to control fighting for awhile now. If you notice and read the rule book fighting is against the rules and people who fight are penalized in the game.

In Europe fighting is not part of hockey culture and at the youth, high school, and college levels fighting is not part of the culture and is met with severe penalties

People who really like and know hockey know that fighting has no real place in the game but accept that for a lot of people it's the only reason they watch hockey.

If you talk to people who have played organized hockey they will tell you it really has no place in the game. If you go to a recreational hockey league for adults and start a fight you are done and kicked out and may face criminal charges of assault and battery.
