Just mind numbing haha. Anyone whose played the game can tell you that a big hit or fight can completely change your mindset, make you forget about being tired or hurt.
To deny that seems hilariously ignorant.

Read more carefully. No one is denying that.
What I and one or two others have challenged is the notion that fighting has a measurable positive impact that makes it a necessary component in today's game. In my opinion, there would be virtually no difference in the quality of play, nor in the on-ice results in the absence of fighting in hockey.
