Childish and booooooring.
Fighting comprises 1% of the game. I'll take it any day over the trash talking and thuggery of the NBA.
You do realize that picture is over a decade old and meanwhile fighting in the game keeps dropping.
I watched 10 or 12 playoff games so far this season and so far saw a grand total of one fight.
Thankfully, fighting ain't what it used to be in hockey. I agree it was boring, (and mostly contrived) but it's far less now and the great players can show their stuff without getting pounded by some goon. I can't imagine how many goals a Gretzky or Mario would have scored with today's more wide-open rules. It's a far better and more exciting game than it was in the past.
If you love a good contest with some amazing athletes on both side of the puck all giving 100% effort on every play, it does not get any better than the current Pens-Caps series. I don't think you even need to be a big hockey fan to enjoy this series. Game 7 tomorrow night. It should be another classic contest.
