If a player gets ejected every time they fight, the rats will become more prominent than ever.
Why wouldn't you hack at the back of Crosby's legs to raise his ire and hopefully goad him into a fight, if it'll get him kicked out of the game?
Staged fights are stupid but allowing fighting (note: I'm not referring solely to goons) serves a purpose to deter cheapshots.
I'm sure Kaleta will have to face a Ranger the next time they play for nearly crippling Richards. And that's how it should be: accountability.
unique sport...big men flying around at high speeds dressed in armour yeilding composite sticks, throwing their bodies into you and smashing your face into the boards...yeah I think sometimes you just need to punch somebody in the face
