i missed the 1st period and only saw 2 fights after that. 2 fights is nothing.

this is hockey.

not golf.

Fights per se aren't what I meant. It's the crap that goes on after the whistle, and I don't mean the taunts and the words and a shove and, yes, sometimes a fight as tempers boil over.

But I would also want it to NOT be for the bad officiating when they do nothing when players hack at each other's legs with their sticks and go to throw a punch instead of playing the puck.

It's the officiating, or lack of it, or the inconsistency of it, that I wanted to say. Sorry if it sounded like I was against all fights in hockey. Hey, it beats badminton, right?
