Fighting is prohibited in European leagues, for whatever that's worth...but it didn't stop Uncle Leo

Personally, and selfishly, I enjoy a good fight, especially if the Islander is the fight winner. But to pretend that they accomplish something like preventing dirty hits from behind is a pipe dream. The NHL has the ability to come down harder on dirty hits, and outlaw fighting, but fights sell tickets, so they (the NHL) are reluctant to do it.

Here’s a good article about fighting in hockey.

Because of CTE that’s the issue. So start with Fighting in hockey and then sports with history of CTE will be fair game. I’m enemy #1 of the Girls Club so no where near official HBGM

OK, you can cancel any sports you want. You are an honorary HBGM.

For what it’s worth it’s prohibited in the NHL as well. There’s a penalty if you do it. Might be harsher in European leagues ( where they barely hit ) vs The NHL.

A win against a very good Leafs team tonight would be awesome!

Awesome, and also necessary if they're going to maintain their "control their own destiny" position.

It's really important that Horvat begin to play a bigger role. In 19 games, a guy who was supposed to be a decent 2-way forward is an underwhelming -3 in the +/- column.

+/- is as over rated as face offs.

We are playing some horrific defense so far.
