Re: Fighting in the NHL

I don't mind fights in the heat of battle but the "staged/pre-arranged fights" stuff is just idiotic to me.

Here's a perfect example:

Brad May has a bad eye type of injury which means he has to wear a visor anyways before a game (can't remember who the Wings played) he and a goon talked about having a fight. Well May plays with his visor in the 1st period then 2nd period he goes out without the visor gets into the fight with the guy and the 3rd he's back with the visor.

He explained in the radio interview how the medical staff and trainers didn't know about this and the visor is mandatory while he's recovering. He then outright says he did something that they wouldn't like and would be totally against.

All for the sake of a pre-arranged fight! What if May got reinjured in the eye area again?! He'd have no one but himself to blame.
