It's amazing. Hope they never change.
They've always been like that - have you ever noticed how important the outcome of fights are to them? It's like a bunch of mma fans with a passing interest in hockey.

Their results show it too. Even while the league was moving away from heavy hockey and goons they at one point regularly iced a lineup with kassian lucic gryba maroon and nurse.

I genuinely think some of their fans would rather their guy win a bunch of fights than make the playoffs.
