You really believe that?Was it a clean hit? Okay then...
And it really doesn't matter who hits whom, does it?
Really?
Wow.

People who continually assert that fighting after clean hits is some new phenomenon are either lying about watching hockey in the 80s and 90s or are just parroting people who are. This has always been the norm. It's actually become less frequent as "take his number" became more of a mantra after the explosion of boring systems hockey in the late 90s.
Just stop already.
Or I could just remember the games I've watched over the past three decades. But you stick with your highlight packages, champ. I think you need things delivered in small, understandable pieces.Go and watch rockem sockem 1 through 10 and say that with a straight face.
Should a player "have" to fight and answer for throwing a big open ice hit like that?
Should they? I dunno, but you throw a hit like that, you are going to fight. Just the way it is.

It happens so quick whose to say they could even tell if it’s clean when they are on the ice? If it was dirty and they didn’t do anything because they thought it was clean everyone would be calling them cowards. I get why it bugs people but I also get why the players don’t go ask their teammate if it was a dirty or clean hit before reacting. I’m also a Ducks fan so I could be biased.
I'm still mad at DeBrincat for just floating around watching Hartman get jumped but 3 players, I'll never forgive that.
Fighting after every clean open ice hit is the worst trend in hockey right now.
Exactly. He needs to get int there and defend his teammate. The optics are bad and stuff like this gets noticed.
It doesn't even happen that often. It happens sometimes but it is far from an epidemic
This. A bigger epidemic in hockey is fans crying about fights after clean hits. How often does it actually happen? Once every 5 games?
Hartman's reputation totally was involved in this whole thing. Also think it's a wuss move to not stand up and fight.
