I think I'm with ila on this. I love to watch a great physical game, like we have going right now between the Bruins and the Flyers (Boston leads 2-1 at the end of the 1st period, by the way). But while I get "into" the fights when they're happening, when I think about why I love hockey the fights usually get in the way.

By the way, Pronger was called for slashing against the Bruins, and the announcer on NBC just attributed that action to Pronger wanting to wake up his team. Then he said something like "Pronger knows the the difference between pain and injury." Maybe, but the replay shows that this was purely about inflicting pain, which can lead to injury. There's no question it was willfull. (Not that the Bruins are saints, mind you.)
