Hey all just wanted to get a few opinions here. Why do you watch hockey? Do you care more about the fights or puck control? A friend of mine and myself had this debate, wanted to know what others thought? |

Who the hell watches just for the fights. The amount of fighting is greatly dramatized as people notice when they watch the NHL. It's like saying you watch Baseball for the homeruns or football for the field goals. _________________

There not to much fight in hockey as it isand when there is a fight is suck big time and does not do anything for the game but bring it down.
Hockey about good skilled players two show there stuff not fighting. _________________ I fought the law and got my a** kick big time. |

Damn, now whoever said they watch it for the fights won't reveal their identity. Then again, someone who says they watch hockey for the fights probably doesn't watch hockey to begin with. _________________

Hah, this might as well read "are you a hockey fan or not?" I don't watch or follow hockey in the slightest, so of course I prefer fights. They are fun and make me go "wow, I'm not wasting my time after all". Now if any actual fan of hockey answered that way I'd raise an eyebrow. |

Um, I don't think so.
There are usually as many field goals in football as there are touchdowns. (often times more.) Also, nearly EVERY baseball game has a home run in it. I don't know what the statistics for fights in hockey games is, but the percentage of hockey games with fights in them is less than 50%, isn't it? (And I'm talking the REAL ones, the 5-minute majors.)
So, while I agree with your sentiment. That's a very bad comparison. :P _________________

OH okay Sai, it's a bad comparison for that reason but it's valid in that it's only one aspect of the game and it would be silly to watch an entire sports event for a single event instead of the overall sport itself. It's roughly 50 percent I would say. _________________
