I'm a fan of hockey, I think it's a great game to watch and wish I would've played it sometime when I had the chance when I was a little younger. I'll admit, I love seeing a good fight at a hockey game. However, I can also see other peoples' points of view. It is the only professional sport that basically allows assault on its playing field. I understand it's somewhat a part of the game's history and culture maybe and I fully respect standing up for your teammates after a cheap shot along the boards, but at the same time in today's society it's surprising that the fighting is allowed to go on as much as it does, often resulting in only a two or five minute penalty. Take a look at the "fight" between the Knicks and Nuggets last year, and the significant penalties those players drew for an incident that was roughly equivalent to the fighting that goes on in hockey on a relatively daily basis. It's just something that's interesting to think about and debate.
