Austrian mook posted:Yes, there's a stigma in the NHL that every team needs to have "size" and "grit" and this often leads to otherwise bad players who are put on the ice just to get in fights. They're called "goons", ironically. For notable examples, see Colton Orr, it's kind of silly but hockey fights are fun to watch sometimes. It's also a dying art. Years ago, all teams would literally have a guy whose only purpose was to punch faces. He'd get like 6minutes of ice time (very low). Now, a majority of fighters can actually play semi-competent hockey as a 4th liner/3rd line dman. Basically, the Orrs of the world are getting replaced with guys like Brandon Prust, who can fight, pk, and not be totally useless as a hockey player. Hockey also has a couple of dudes like Milan Lucic, who are skilled players that fight a decent amount. If you're into hockey fights, http://www.hockeyfights.com/ is for you.
