I also get a laugh at the guys defending brain damage and suicide, depression etc all because they think fighting is somehow "part of the game". It is not, it is a part of the pathetic culture we live in where two grown men punching each other in the brain is applauded.
It's not part of the game. Slashing Gaudreau in the hands isn't part of the game yet it happens every game. Just because two guys fight doesn't mean it's part of the game.
hockey will still be hockey long after fighting is banned.
