I've been a fan since the 70's and they have dropped off dramatically from the games I've watched. Personally I am glad we don't have these types of brawls as much because the game is so much more fun to watch with all the great scoring and passing. But sometimes there are cases for payback and this was supposed to be between just two guys and it blew up. These teams have a big rivalry so guess it just happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved how the last two remaining Devils looked at each other as if to say, "Which one of us is going to fight Miller?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you foresee a day in which fights are no more, or will they always happen? To me, I haven't liked fighting, and didn't believe it was necessary in any hockey games, and leagues. If, and when there are any types of stick incidents, and infractions no matter being accidental, or not, and a choice between those, and fights, I would pick fights because sticks can do more damage to people, and individuals. If sticks were kept down, and no incidents, and infractions involving them, then there likely wouldn't have been any fights, or as many of them occurring, and happening. The N.H.L. has been working in trying to limit, or not have them part of the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's silly to force players to keep their helmets on during fights in order to discourage them from undertaking in such behavior. Either forbid these actions or let them go at it.

Nova Carmina Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I've thought for years it was sort of suspicious there was so much less fighting in the playoffs. It was like everyone collectively said, "Alright, time to get serious about this playing hockey thing." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's hardly any goons left. Everybody wants to be Gretzky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some bad blood over the last two games with these teams. Rempe made some bad hits and served a suspension. Refs wouldn't let them fight the last game they played so it was expected they would duke it out at the beginning. Just didn't expect everyone to go at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) Avs had a much better night, 5-2 over the Wild. MacKinnon got a hat trick, first time he has 50 goals in a season (with the 3rd goal it is 51). With an assist on another goal, he is closer to Kucherov in the Hart race with 137 points. Makar had 3 assists and a goal as well. This is more like the Avs I love Edited April 10 by Rhyta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope MacKinnon gets it because he has taken his play to another level this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 (edited) Feeling a bit concerned, Avs have had some serious lapses and lost some key games. Will be playing Winnipeg in the first round and that's not looking so good. Just hope they manage to finish on a win Thursday. On other news, not sure what the hell is going on with the NHL, going to send the Coyotes to SLC?? As much as I would love to have an NHL team near me, this has me feeling skeptical. After all, the owner of the Utah Jazz will be involved, what could go wrong? Oh, how about getting a new arena built then selling the team as soon as your tax write offs expire. Yeah that happened once before so I wonder what do we not know about this deal? Stay tuned I guess. Edited April 18 by Rhyta 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
