LOVE IT! OLD TIME HOCKEY EDDIE SHORE!!!

grew up watching bench clearing brawls, guys going up in the stands to fight drunks in the crowd - NHL thought that the old Rodney Dangerfield joke 'i went to a fight and a hockey game broke out' was costing it mass acceptance in the US so got rid of most of the good stuff. NHL in my opinion is no further ahead without the donnybrooks. In fact, in light of the huge popularity of UFC, violent video games - NHL would be more popular if they brought it back.

my only reservation is the concussion epidemic and the number of sad early endings to the lives of hockey's tough guys.
