    If you toss a player for fighting (your point #1), isn't that effectively a ban?

    No. Banning fighting to me means a more severe punishment than a game misconduct. For instance, in Golf, if Tiger Woods went and punched someone in the face and two players had a fight, they would probably suffer more than just a game suspension, they would be fined heavily and maybe kicked off the tour for a few months. 

  2. It won't be long until fighting is banned in the NHL. I personally don't think it should be, but, the NHL has a responsibility to the players and their safety.

     

    Instead of banning fighting, what I would I would like to see is:

     

    1) Any 5 minute major for a fight automatically results in a game misconduct.

    2) Any 5 minute major for a fight in the last 5 minutes of a game results in a 1 game suspension.

    No games I’m interested in exchanging…. I wanted to get multiple leafs tickets but they have a tier of their own now 

    Seriously? What's it called, the "Premium Super Dooper OMG the Leafz R in town" tier?

    Here's a question for STH if you were to attend a really lousy movie or get an attrocius meal at a restaurant How mny of you would think " you  know what I'm going to see that movie again or go to the restaraunt again.. That's how I feel right now about the Canucks.

    I think a better analogy is seeing a terrible TV pilot episode and thinking to yourself "Maybe it gets better? I'll give it a chance". So you watch the next 11 episodes of Season 1 and they are just as horrible. Most people would walk away at that point, but no... you decide "Maybe season 2 is better???" so you watch another dozen episodes and they are even worse. Sure, there's the odd episode that is exciting here and there, but for every one good episode there's a half dozen stinkers. But you don't stop. You keep watching season after season. Okay, in case you haven't figured it out, episode = season, and right now we are on Episode 53 of the Canucks saga. How many of those 53 episodes would you want to watch over again? I mean, I don't think we're going to be entering syndication anytime soon, let's just say that much......
