The Canucks were a different team after that game, they looked defeated and downtrodden, their game took a
significant drop. Not saying fighting produces this reaction, in fact I'd say it rarely does, but in this case I think an argument can be made it did.
For the most part I'd agree with you, fighting is mostly just fun to watch. But there are those cases where it effects the play on the ice and for many games after. The Canucks, and especially their coaching staff were an embarrassed lost group after that game, and being thrown totally for a loop because of Hartley and his tough guys could be a reason why. It's not like I'm the first to suggest that.
