On February 27th I posted the article Additional Statistics on the Impact of Fighting. It contained stats that showed when fighting was reduced, non-fighting PIMs were also reduced. It also showed that teams who fought the most were also assessed more non-fighting PIMs. A clear trend based on the past 12 seasons of NHL play. And then a game comes along that adds considerable weight to my argument that enforcers contribute to the violence and cheap shots, not control it.
The time has come for the NHL and NHLPA to show maturity, to display concern for their players and to promote the beauty of hockey instead of supporting a culture of fighting. From this humble site I hope to rally others with a similar opinion and communicate this message to hockey officals at all levels of the game.
