I find that more recently I am framing the questions differently. It's less about whether or not a fight can impact a game—there do seem to be instances in which it does. My question is much more with regards to the necessity of fighting in hockey; with measuring its value against the consequences.
The title of Prust's article was "Why we fight." He answered it with a string of clichés that we have been hearing for a couple of decades now, but the whole piece, in my opinion, missed the point.
The title should have been "Should we fight?" And the answer to that question is only if it is necessary. Is it necessary in hockey? I am convinced that it is not.

The vast majority of fans as well as hockey players disagree with you.
