it's not that i don't enjoy a good fight, but it's the only sport that even remotely tolerates it. and the only level of the sport that allows it in the world. if it's so important to the game why does no other level than the NHL and their minor leagues allow it?

and the league has done everything it can to outlay blows to the head...yet allows it in fighting. that makes no sense. not even you can explain the hypocrisy of that.

and i'm offended that idiots like Zac Rinaldo and Jody Shelley are paid professional athletes with no talent whatsoever. and yet we hate guys who are top 10 scorers in the league. makes no fucking sense.

edit: you guys probably put orange slices in your beer too :roll: pumpkin beer and orange slices aren't beer their fucking wine coolers

what does your first paragraph even mean? you like fighting, but you think they should abolish it because no other sport has it. that makes a ton of sense. they should take away ice skates in hockey too...no other sport uses them. and basketball players should wear gloves since every other sport does.

you can't compare hockey to other sports. fighting has been in the game for 100 years. why get rid of it now?

I think the new NHL rules on hits are gay too. Most of the time a player is trying to hit a moving target. 99% of hits are made without an intent to injure. Again, injuries are part of the game. These guys get paid enough to deal with any injury they get IMO.

keep defending jeff carter and ryan howard :roll: . I guess playoff performance doesnt matter to you at all. not surprising

hey i like goals and runs since they you know are kind of important and essential to you know winning and losing unlike you know fighting. let's see if any of these boys can score 36 for the franchise like carter did last year.

and you are probably in the group of philly fans who think Keith Primeau was a great player because he had more goals in a playoff run then he did in 80 fucking games in his one decent year for the flyers.

funny that you couldn't respond to any of the examples I gave as to how fighting can be used strategically.

how many playoff goals did carter have? oh shit, that's right, playoff performance isn't important to you.

there's more to sports than runs and goals. you'd think superstar athletes that play street hockey and fast pitch softball would realize this

yeah max talbot fighting dan carcillo had more to do with the Pens comeback than one of the top players in the game scoring a goal against our shitty goaltending. if it wasn't for max talbot i'm sure sidney crosby wouldn't never score :roll: :roll: :roll:

and never said there wasn't more to sports than runs and goals, but they are the most fucking important things...by a lot.

and you must love cody ross, david frease and skip schumacher these days

but you use that small n-size argument only when it fits into your already existing attitudes towards players but dismiss it for others. convenient wip-esque attitude.

doesn't make him great. remember michael leighton was good for one playoff run too and he still sucked 100 pound testicles.

I could come up with more examples if you'd like. how about in 2000 when the flyers were about to fall into an 0-2 hole at home to pittsburgh. the flyers sent out berube, langkow, and tocchet to send a message to the pens that they were not going to lay down in the series. The flyers won the next 4 games and went on to the next round.

you are so close minded that even when you're wrong (which is often), you fail to realize or acknowledge as much

holy fn shit. one shift was responsible for not 1, not 2, not 3 , BUT 4 FUCKING PLAYOFF WINS. jesus h. christ this has to be the greatest shift in hockey history. surely it's on display at the Hall of Fame. Does Gretzky know about this shift?

seriously dude come on you cannot be fucking serious. one shift by langkow, berube and tocchet responsible for 4 playoff wins...wow just fucking wow

put down the pumpkin beer, take off the chase utley jersey and call it a night. and it's not even a full moon.
