The guys are not hold each other to keep balance. They have been skating their whole lives and have no trouble with balance even when fighting. They hold each other to avoid getting punched and to try to get the other guy’s jersey into a position that would impede their ability to throw punches.
The fights are often broken up before it gets out of hand as soon as the players hit the ice. You wouldn’t see the players out for weeks after a fight because, well, they are hockey players. They play with broken bones and get stitches in the locker room during games.

Crosby would hurt. Taylor Lewan would break bones in my face.

fight on skates as you have less balance and therefore less power, but there are still guys that can do some serious damage on the ice. NHL guys aren't always out there collecting bodies but in the Minors there are guys you do NOT want to mess with!

its inception then no, people would not say that because it would be a regular and anticipated part of the sport. Dumb argument.

Better yet, ask your fellow Alumni face to face how they feel about "fighting"

Make everything about race?
This is such a ridiculous comment. Do you know JD? Check is Twitter? Does he make everything about race?
So you make ONE comment about race and now all of your comments are about race? Think about what you just typed and hit "Save" on.
How is this "making everything about race?" Are you just uncomfortable discussing race?
January 8th, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
I'd point out to JD that there's been plenty of black NHL players who are enforcers/ tough guys.
January 8th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
Just keep your mouth shut and keep a clean record for a while JD.
January 8th, 2018 at 11:45 PM ^
I don't think he gives 1...let alone 2 shits about your respect for him. Shits are valuable.
If you can pop off and share your opinions on a blog...he can share his opinions whenever he wants. He doesn't have to "shut his mouth" any more than you have to shut yours.

If there were guys in baseball and football who's only role is to go all bat out of hell and run over your best players then there would be enforcers in those sports too.
