Fighting is part of the sportsmanship. It's part of the game. There is a code that defines it. There was recently a book written about said code. It's called The Code: The Unwritten Rules Of Fighting And Retaliation In The Nhl. Read it if you care to know something about what you are saying.

If Hockey is not your cup of tea, maybe you shouldn't run your mouth about it to someone who understands the sport. Hockey players are the most sportsman-like of all big sport leagues. Not just on the ice, but off it, as well. Hockey players are known for their family life, their charities, and their being regular guys on the block, easy to talk to, not all about them. And they don't get into bar fights at night clubs on an alomst nightly basis.

You don't like the sport enough to educate yourself about the culture, fine. Then you don't get to run your mouth about it.
