Yeah, I don't know if I've gotten smarter over the years, or the fights have become more staged. But I remember in the 80s and 90s really believing the players hated each other when they fought, but now I have no illusion of ill feelings whatsoever. I can barely be bothered to watch a hockey fight anymore.
