French Collection Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Are there any ramifications for fighting there? I thought it was 5 minutes and a game, maybe more in international hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not intend to give oxygen to reply-guy-a.ssholeism ... but, like some of them, I am prompted to wonder: Why is an international exhibition game against Germany the first time I'm seeing Tuch in a scrap?

Yeah I had the same reaction. Dude if you’re gonna drop em there, you should probably done it once or twice for your Buffalo boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and to take it a step further… If one’s tipping point of whether or not you want someone to be the captain is if whether or not they drop the gloves once in a blue moon in the NHL 2023 … That’s pretty sad in my opinion. Fighting should be the absolute last thing that should tip the scales of whether or not you want someone to be the captain of your hockey team in 2023+. Grit, sandpaper, feistiness, physicality, or whatever cute word one wants to use to describe a player who “gets in the face” of the opposition. I can see that being useful and effective. But fighting in todays NHL is rather useless more or less. Fighting in the NHL in the 60s 70s and 80s, is a completely different mindset. Tuch fighting at an exhibition game doesn’t move the needle at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuch fighting at an exhibition game doesn’t move the needle at all. A very occasional - even "out of character" - fight is indicative of someone who's willing to put it all on the line for his teammates. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually pretty ambivalent on whether fighting should still be tolerated. But when a guy gets into an honest fight -- nothing staged about it, something that happens in the moment -- his teammates get the message loud and clear: I care about you guys. Watch this. This is how much I care about you. Blocked shots seem to have a similar effect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
