So much fail here......where to start.........
moose;312538 wroteThat's the stupidest argument ever. If you are at the game then you enjoy the sport with its rules. Obviously 0% of the people in attendance at a playoff hockey game are there because they just happened to be wandering past the arena, and said hey, I know nothing about this sport, I think I'll buy a ticket and see what it is like.
Well, if that's the stupidest argument ever, then ^^^ is the most...hmm, how to put....brain 'vacancy' statement ever.
If you think because you get a penalty for fighting, it makes it easy to get fighting out of the game because it's 'against the sports rules'.......well, you'll have to get rid of icing, offside, tripping, slashing....cuz, hey, it's 'against the sports rules'.

TV ratings suck for hockey because it is a goon sport and more people are uninterested, than interested in watching that. TV and merchandising pays the bills, not 17000 fans @ $100 a ticket.
Separate US ratings from Cdn ratings.....Cdn ratings for the Pit / Philly games on TSN are off the charts (or so my local radio tells me).
Not sure on the US ratings, but I'm going to make the assumption the Pit / Philly games have huge ratings compared to, say last years first round.
TV revenue for the NHL is microbial, when u compare it to NFL, MLB, and NBA.

72 min in penalties and two fights and two ejections because some idiot kicked a glove and other idiots could not suck it up and take the extreme insult that it presented. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
too much lolzz in this statement.....the 'kicking of the glove' was coincidental to the boiling point of the Pens frustration obv.
and, oh, I liked it btw

If golf was hockey, then Woods wouldn't have to crack Mickelson in the head with a driver, all he would have to do is move his ball marker without permission and a brawl would start.
yeah, and if my aunt had ballz she'd be my uncle....stick to credible comparison's, as you seem to be avoiding a comparison for MMA, u should other sports as well........amirite?

Are you sure you are recommending MENS hockey because it seems more like 6 year old crybabies hockey.
Spoken like a true sofball superstar. I can say that I never played a high level of hockey, but I have a number of friends that have / had, don't remember anyone haveing your pov.
If you take fighting from hockey, next it will be the contact........and voila, female hockey.
