@spriggs20 John Scott fought Westgarth this past November and beat him pretty good (broke his nose, I believe). The Hawks feed of that fight has an AWESOME super slo-mo of Westgarth taking one of Scott's rights against the boards.
The ice says Wachovia Spectrum, the PHL home ice. The phantoms are wearing their home jerseys. The announcers say Philadelphia. The game is listed as Manchester vs. Philadelphia, and in sports, the home team is listed second.
The Verizon has a single large lion at center ice, not two smaller symbols.
Fighting is part of the game Period. No If's and's or butt's.... Sometimes bad things happen and every player that is willing to drop the gloves knows and accepts the consequences. I agree with timmyboy1970 about the fact that it didn't need to happen right from puck drop, but like others have said, its raw emotion and the majority of people that watch hockey enjoys what fisticuffs can do to electrify an arena. Props to Westgarth for that nasty uppercut / haymaker combo x2 to end the fight.
timmyboy1970 your a fucking moron. That was a good fight intill klotz got knocked out. They wanted to go at it and they did. just happened to turn out bad for klotz. Fighting is a part of the game. wouldn't have it in the rules if it wasn't allowed.
I've been to Lacrosse games. They were arena only, but you would be wrong about the fights. If I wanted to see two people fight, wearing shoes, I would just go around and goad people into fighting me.
This kind of fight has absolutely nothing to do with the game. I don't mind the occasional battle in the heat of the moment but when a couple of guys square off as soon as the puck drops it loses any credibility that is 'part' of the game. It's just a couple of tough guys trying to win an imaginary title and get some props from the boys on the bench. Sounds like recess time during elementary school doesn't it?
No, thats absolutely opposite of what it is. Obviously you don't play hockey. No one fights to make themselves some sort of fighting all star. They do it because almost everytime you start a fight, it pumps up your teams momentum, and many teams thrive off that, hence the reason the Minnesota Wild have Derek Boogaard, a 6'9" former semi-pro boxer. He's a hitter, a playmaker, and a momentum winner.
And how is it obvious? I played junior b hockey and saw plenty of fights. You're missing my point. These guys dropped the gloves at the start of the game and that has absolutely nothing to do with the momentum because there isn't any yet. It's just a couple of guys that want to pound on each other because they enjoy fighting. It's just pushed on us in Canada that "fighting is a part of hockey" and it's bullshit and a myth perpetuated by the GM's who played during the 70's.
By removing fighting you ruin the livelihood of more players than those that have actually had any career ending injuries related to fighting. You people and your pseudo ethics. Todd Fedoruk had his faced bashed in and still skates today. Oh, and the list of players that have been in fights and lived to skate long thereafter stretches from here to infinity!
You forgot that I said I don't mind the odd punch up. I'm saying that it gets tedious, predictable and boring when guys go at it for absolutely no reason other than climbing the ranks of the non existent NHL-FC. It isn't a 'part' of the game, we've just been raised to believe that. Guess what else used to be a part of the game; give up? The red line. Just admit that it satisfies the neanderthal qualities we all possess and move on.
Sure, you will always have those tedious, predictable and boring fights. That comes with allowing fighting. I could easily say that a byproduct of the "new" NHL is an incredible lack of defense. Score fests can be pretty boring when no one shows up to play D. Now, I have to say that you red line example leaves a lot to be desired. That hardly put many out of a job. You are comparing two VERY different things. Now, sure fighting satisfies some neanderthal desires, but the fighting issue is
You remove fighting from hockey and you can kiss the career of a pretty boy like Crosby goodbye. The first chance a dirty bastard like ruutuu gets he is going to take out his knees. Players have been regulating themselves since time and memorial and it has worked just fine. isn't broke, don't fix it
I'm not trying to get into things with you again, but you should read the comments on fighting made this week by GM's on NHL(dot)com. Some Gm's even address fighting at the beginning of a game and/or staged fighting as it were.
We should ban Skiing then... People fall down hard and hurt themselves also !!! Rememer the guy in the artificial coma, it's awful of course but accident do happen, sports are full of them, especially a contact sport like HOCKEY. For those who don't like, change the channel, EASY enough, instead of changing the game !!!
Being a moron is attacking fights in hockey while boxing is a legal sport. Understanding that hockey has its roughness sides and just take actions to make is as safe as possible... Again accidents do happen and always will !!!
So what your saying is when a when a person is swinging full force with anger at another person...the "point" is not to hurt person?
So if you consistent with your logic (and are not biased by giving hockey and exempt"),
When a raper penetrats his penis on another person sexually without the person consent, "the point" is not to rape them because there are many other reasons behind it???
anyone else notice that ever since they started debating about fights there's been fucking TONS of fighting. lol, everyone wants to get to fight before they ban it. (which i dont think they will)
yo why you assholes got to be like this a young kid almost died your all fucking sickos i hope you get your ass beat and have a siezure then see who is laughin fuck off and play the game and fight see what happens
i dont understand why your pissed cause he said knockout! i love hockey it was a knock out... he loves hockey he didnt say hashahaha that fucker deserved it everyone here hopes hes ok but it was a good fuckin fight loser
What did I say? it was a knock out and a good fight! you guys all watched this fight too so you must like Hockey fights! I cant help it if everytime i watch this it makes me smile! I dont think he wants a rematch either!!! hahahahaha
They've been running these polls where i live lately about fighting in Hockey and it looks like its mainly Women that want fighting banned... All the guys i know love Hockey Figths and So do I

Your a grade A moron to compare a skiing accident and fighting on ice.
The main difference that your dumbass mind fali to see is that in a skiing accident, there was no intent to get hurt and its self inflicting.
A fight, the fighter has full intentions of hurting the other player and the pain is obviously infllicted externally.
Only uneducated, sadistic fans would want to see this mindless and pointless act of violence. Unfortunately hockey has alot of them.

No, the point of a fight is not to hurt another player. In fact, that's no where close to the point of it.
There are many reasons behind hockey fights, but aside from a few rare cases, the reason is never to simply harm another player.

Wow your logic is really stupid and sad.
So what your saying is when a when a person is swinging full force with anger at another person...the "point" is not to hurt person?

When a raper penetrats his penis on another person sexually without the person consent, "the point" is not to rape them because there are many other reasons behind it???
