Adding a penalty box would increase scoring opportunities.

Shouldn’t have ever been allowed in hockey in the first place.

I say no. Why? Because NFL players are more likely to be scum than NHL players. When NHL players fight they generally follow certain unwritten rules. NFL players will kill each other and you’ll see gang like attacks on individual opponents. Do I have to explain that to anyone?

They shouldn't allow it in hockey. It's one of the things that caused me to go from someone who attended 30-35 NHL games a year to someone who now attends about one every decade.

How about giving up pink shoes and asinine political commentary for starters?

With the players being huge and padded, it would be hard for the refs to stop it. At least hockey players usually end up on the ice...making it a little easier to control.

How about eliminating the facemask penalty and just let them rip heads off?

It will certainly open up more spots for college players...

maybe not coddling wife beaters would help....maybe showing the same treatment to law enforcement as to blaxk lives matter would help...maybe giving 9-11 memorials the same consideration as breast cancer would help...maybe forbidding players to disrespect our country would help...

Since they wear helmets and pads, they should be able to use a hollow metal pipe, no more than 18 inches, and with an outside diameter of no more than 3/4 inch and a thickness of no more than 1/8 inch, or a solid wooden dowel no more than 1.5 inches across and no more 24 inches with a blunt tip.

Poking or stabbing motions would be illegal. An no inflated balls would be allowed in the arena.

The trend in fighting in the NHL is downward. It will eventually be eliminated.

If two players get in a fight, then anyone else that gets involved is ejected and suspended for the next game with no appeal. Anyone that leaves the bench gets tossed and serves a two game suspension with no appeal, and the coaching staff gets double that. Add in some realistic fines like a % of their salary which doubles for third man in and triples for benches, and then let them fight.

There seems to be an endless stream of idiotic ideas lately...

Multi millionaires duking it out on the field screwing up their careers by getting injured makes real sense.../ S

These freaks are nothing more than modern day gladiator wannabes.

Might as well arm them and let em’ fight on the field.

Long ago I read a book about football where each team was allowed to have a sniper with one bullet to use during the game. That might make the game more interesting. (sarc)

Hockey fights are entertainment for primal mouth breathers.

If you want less fruity celebration dancing and chest slapping displays after routine plays let them fight. One of my big problems with the NFL is that the nature of the modern rules combined with replay from a million camera angles and only playing 16 games takes any self policing away from players. So the cool players can’t stop the jerks from being showboating jerks.

There’s a reason why no one moonwalks down to first after drawing a walk or does a hulk pose with chest slapping after catching a infield pop up.
