New promo for the NHL tonight:

Guaranteed Concussion Night

BTW as per Scott Shannon on Fan 590 today - ratings are up in the States. Philly series is averaging almost 1 mil per game - this in a country of over 300 million. ie dick all.

moose;307788 wroteDo you seriously think the NHL draws fans because people look around at the rules of a sport and say, 'hey, this one allows fighting - this is the sport for me'?

If you and Reibs think that people are more interested in seeing a fight and cheer more for a fight than a goal, then the game is already broken and far beyond repair. It's not a sport anymore.

Just noticed this below:

Didn't this whole discussion start with should fighting be banned...? That article was all about the dirty hits, not the fighting.. Not sure anybody is in favour of the Raffi Torres type stuff... He got what he deserved, or perhaps not enough..
