Sounds to me like you might be a fight fan who found the most inefficient way to watch fights.

Ive been a fan since 1995 when I moved to Calgary. Basically began watching hockey in line with the beginning of Iginlas career who is and always will be my favorite player of alltime. He could score and kick your ass. You just dont see that anymore. Over the years ive started to watch less and less hockey. Stopped renewing my season tickets a couple years back and didnt even attend a single game last season for the first time since 1995!
I just dont enjoy the nonstop penalty calls and the direction the NHL is headed where its all focused on skill. Dont get me wrong I enjoy skill, but the draw for hockey for me was always the grit attatched with it. I can honestly say Im probably only hanging on as a fan out of nostalgia at this point and I sincerely mean if fighting were to be outright banned that would be the end for me. Its not the game I fell in love with in the 90s anymore.
