I get it, you don't want it in the game. I made no mention of staged fights. We will never agree on this clearly. You like your new age style of play, I like a hard nosed, entertaining, tough style of play. Not at all what I said. Swing and a miss. So I will help you out. I AGREE fighting has a part in the game just not STAGED FIGHTS. A fight after a cheap shot dirty play 100% belongs in the game. Penalizing the guy who initiates a fight which wouldn't have happened without the cheap shot which initiates the fight in the first place is a mistake. Sure it looks good to sponsors and people who are never true fans of the game because fighting is down. But it has created the problem that even though fighting has decreased more players are committing cheap shots. So next time you just brush off someones post, try reading the post you responded to.

I appreciate good hard hockey all day literally just watched the Good Friday Massacre video yesterday. Good heat of the moment brawl. I don't like the garbage that has taken place since players can hide behind the instigator rule. I still believe if they either remove the instigator rule (unlikely) or tweak it so it doesn't punish the team standing up for a guy, that hard nosed hockey can coincide with the new school.

Anyone with half a realized this is what would be happening without enforcement in the NHL. For all those who were happy with the removal of fighting, you better not be complaining right now. Even if we had a guy who could, we wouldn't get away with any policing. Come on now, you should know that by now. We'd end up in handcuffs and sitting in a holding cell with this kangaroo court deal. Sounds like a nice idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the fine or 1 game. Have a least one guy in the line up each night that will fight or FORCE the other guy to go just like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Interesting. I think the DOPS is a joke but I thought 5 and a game was sufficient... I’m actually surprised he got fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckfromlangley Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hansen received a game for trying to catch a puck and clipping a guy with his elbow. But an intentional spinning elbow just nets you a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Pettersson was eligible to be hit. It was reckless for sure to come around with the elbow, but Krieder also got ejected from the game (in the second) where Voracek only got a 5min major. I would have been good with one game for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite recall... I definitely remember it being an oilers game. Preseason? Regardless it's pretty ironic how he's now a fan favourite in Edmonton lol. Also if it was gagner...

Good memory after watching it again it's questionable, but definitely made me question how Raffl was never suspended for punching Malkin in the back of the head this year which caused Malkin to react and get him suspended for hitting him with his stick in the head. Here's the Hansen one so people can remember it if they don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Im fine with this one or if it had been 1 game. I know in the past Canuck players have been punished harshly for incidents that probably deserved less but that doesnt change anything with respect to this play. 5 and a game was enough for this action imo. TBH i would have been more inclined to discipline the refs for booting Lemieux out of the game. That was way overboard imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the refs the Lemieux hit looked way worse than it was in real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
