I agree Crazy....the Av's are pretty bad for dirty hits. But I am not sure that hockey could do without fighting. I am not saying that it is an encouraging thing to bring your young child to the game only for them to wind up seeing that kind of thing but as far as violence goes a child only has to flip to CNN and the worlds blood flows before their eyes. You cannot condone one and not the other....it is not like wrestling where the violence is staged. It is all reality in one sporting event or another just like the news. We are very lucky and sheltered here in North America from the harsh realities of war and civil unrest. I am not saying that fighting has a place in hockey but violence will always find a way into the life of the younger generation.
