Why is brawl allowed in NHL?
I’m not a hockey fan, so don’t know anything about the players or even team names. But i just saw i trending. Maybe these 2 teams are rivals, but im wondering why the refs are allowing them to fight. Unlike the NBA, refs always get into the middle to stop any punches but NHL is different. Its not cool for kids to watch, but I’m entertained LOL
Not a hockey fan either, but I’ve often asked this question of my friends that are. They all same the same thing: The fans enjoy and expect it. To me, it’s dumb. One team ends up a player (or two) down, and that’s when a lot fo the scoring happens. Ergo, you fight and you are more likely to lose. Pretty much any other sport in the world and you’re off the field of play, and often for a long period of time.
FWIW, this is also why I’m not a hockey fan…
All good points. Just a minor thing, but when you say “you fight, you’re more likely to lose,” I’m not sure if this is true, because for a team to lose, another team has to win. So you could very well aay “you fight, you’re more likely to win.”
Now, you could make a case of a team that could easily and overwhelmingly beat the second team, and if they fight, they’re more likely to lose players, and thereby, they’re more likely to lose. Because if they fight, the other team could lose players, so if they fight… they would win anyway, so the likelihood of winning doesn’t increase.
