It’s part of the game….
I have been a hockey fan for as long as I can remember, close to a half-century of playing and watching one of the most exciting sports on the planet. There was never a time during the past 50 years that I thought fighting belonged in hockey. The phrase, “It’s part of the game” has to be the most short sighted view of those who enjoy watching two people beat themselves up, and of those league officials who cannot bring themselves to bring it to an end. It’s not part of the game.
