The game is a lot more genteel now, and the actual hockey play is more entertaining. The designated face-puncher on every team was fun to watch for 30 seconds during those games when he got into a fight, but highly uninteresting the rest of the time. I like it when every player on a team actually has the skills to deserve a roster spot.

So you're ok with a face puncher with skill?
