I agree that Hockey, when played well, is a beautiful and exciting games to watch. I saw last night's game..fast, exciting, few penalties. All good sport requires discipline, skill, and an innate understanding of the game..all was in evidence last night. It should be that way all the time. If players can control "testosterone" during the play offs, surely they can manage it all season long. Fighting should never be tolerated, in any sport and hockey should not excuse on the grounds of "high testoserone".
    There is a difference between roughness and violence..Hockey is a rough sport, that does not mean it should a violent one. There is a culture of violence in hockey , many players and fans feel that fighting is an essential part of the game..last nights games just goes to show how wrong they are.
