Good point. I've also seen plenty of great games where there was a fight, what do I remember from those games? Not the fight(s) but the hockey that was played.

I remember the fights when something big happens like an expected showdown like Probert vs McSorely, The Bertuzzi incident, the Flames vs Ducks game, and I wouldn't call them great game. In some cases very entertaining, in other cases highly controversial. Those games are not remembered for the hockey being played.
