I think that most hockey fights involve a lot of grabbing the jersey. If you are getting held at the shoulder or elbow it is kind of hard to throw a good punch. That is not to say that all fights are soft. I have heard lots of stories of broken faces.

You haven't seen some of the good and down right bloody fights. I think it might have something to do with the restrictive equipment.

OK.... a couple things here.....
First, if you ever equate hockey to wraslin again I'll fucking stab you in the face..... or at least threaten it again... the fights are very real... Second, there is an unwritten rule in hockey that the fight will be allowed until somebody falls down. Once somebody falls, it's over and the refs break it up. This could be why it seemed odd or staged. Third, try to imagine for a moment, engaging in a street fight in which you and your opponent are both wearing rollerskates. It's not gonna look pretty, and you might fall on your ass before you connect with the other dude's chin....

I can see how the padding can get in the way of a good punch. I've seen lots of body checking that's brutal, but the fights always seem controlled.

I will never equate hockey and wraslin' again. I didn't know about the falling down rule, that's interesting. |

Scoring has increased this year, since they made changes to increase offense. Some people do find it boring though.....
