Yea.. but your logic is somewhat flawed.
NHL players go to another level in the playoffs..  but regular season games
are another story.. some are great, while others... well, they're just
snoozers.  I can remember many games where they ONLY real highlights were
the scraps.  Granted, this isn't an argument that flatters hockey (maybe
it's just the kind of performance the Canucks have been putting on around
here recently :)  but I think fighting clearly has its place..
And don't try to tell me that most fans disagree, cause we've both heard the
roar of the crowd when a tussle breaks out ;)
