Fighting is necessary in hockey. Always has been and always will be.
As long as there are superstars and other guys just trying to make it in the league as third and fourth line players, there will be fights. Thats one reason why there are fights and why they are needed. I fully expect to see Peters out there knocking some heads if the other team starts taking shots at Briere, Afinogenov or one of our other scorers.
And I totally agree with momentum swings. Philly definitely did get a charge out of the fights. Although, Richards picking a fight with Paetsch was almost as bad as Tucker fighting with Eaves a few weeks back. :tdown: to those two pussies.
