This is why I rarely watch NHL anymore

cant take cheap shots out of the game without taking hitting out of the game. If you have played competitive hockey before you would know that sometimes you go in for a clean hit but the guy turns or something at the last minute and it becomes what some believe as a cheap shot.

I know i am in the minority but i want the head shot rule gone if the guy has his head down he deserves to get drilled. I am all for the blind side stuff but the nhl has put the onus on the guy throwing the hit instead of the guy getting hit. The guy with the puck or about to get the puck should have to make a decision do i take this pass and get hammered or do i just let it go remember the term "suicide pass" that is gone now. Same goes for the chara hit patches ( i dont call him that and hate the habs but i dont want to look up the spelling of his name) made a choice do i chip the puck in and chase or so i take that small space and try to beat chara on the outside and take a chance of getting smoked. We all know what happened what is chara suppose to do just let him skate by him. I hate the way the nhl is going.

As for staged fights they can go and can be put up to the discretion of the ref if they feel it is staged game misconduct but I really like spear of the moment fights and I also want the instigator gone.

ps guys will start putting there head at risk in an act to draw penalties just like they turn there back to draw hitting from behind penalties

If the ref decides they made a concious effort to turn, no penalty. Likewise if the player "ducks" and gets one in the head. Look it up. Then come over to the winning team.

Milo, isn't this the first time you've been on the winning team without it being due to forfeit?

Milo

Uh. . . no. Check out the stats for Royal Cup VIII (I think).

Lots of truculence in the Sens/Habs game going on right now. Great game so far.

In the end, great game. Fans got their money's worth.

I've played hockey myself (High School and Junior) and fighting is part of the game. Mind that I am a goalie, if it wasn't for those "Goons/Tough Guys" The other team would be taking advantage of me by running the net and knocking me down, getting slashed, and elbowed to the head. You need someone to protect your players.

When I saw that NJ vs NYR fight at the beginning of the game, I loved it. Old school hockey.

About time to bump this gem of a thread.... Can you imagine a PIT vs PHI series without fighting?

Great playoffs so far! Just not for my playoff pool....

now imagine if they weren't allowed to fight and the talent on both teams actually had something to do with hockey. i'd probably watch it then.

I like to imagine how players could look as mature on the ice as they usually appear off the ice if they didn't resort to 6th grade face washing as a standard tactic.
