[Waiver Wire] Oilers Claim Steve MacIntyre


Recommended Posts

Great! Now we can watch him & Sestito have like a dozen tilts over the coming months.

Get fighting out of hockey, already. The IIHF has it right. They fight sometimes in IIHF too...if a player really wants to fight. It's just not a somewhat permissable or promoted type of conduct - out there. The consequences in IIHF & other leagues are severe enough to be actual deterents.

IIHF game-misconducts & suspensions for "repeatedly fighting" makes players & coaches think about what they are about to do....or who they will put upon the ice. Players truly develop some restraint & a greater respect for their opponents. When....oh when...will the NHL follow suit? Gotta ask the league's king-pin Jeremy Jacobs that question....I suppose.

The BUF/TOR brawlings...should be absolutely repugnant to these Pros. But - with permissible fighting & condoned vigilantism still being bred into our NHLers...as normal hockey culture...why are we surprised that it happened? I bet there are some minds at the NHL's head office,.. who are secretly gleeful over this incident. To those traditionalists...violence in the NHL sells their brand of hockey, in their traditional markets,...best.
