Nice language there Vicki. Fighting bonuses are illegal in all organized Pro
hockey. Besides...that is not the "big hurry" I speak of. The "big hurry" is
dangerous weapons (sticks) at faster speeds with stronger bigger players.

Exactly. With the incoming Euro players and the use of safety equipment that
"unwritten rule" is completely gone from what I can see.
