The fight when Chara rag dolled Mccabe was pretty funny, he looked pretty scared to me...then again I would be terrified if a giant was tossing me around.

It should be natural instinct to have fun when you're on the ice.. especially for younger kids.. Checking and fighting shouldn't be hockey until you're atleast 15.. Atleast then, the kids are old enough to understand the dangers of hitting from behind and they're strong enough on their skates to take a hit as well as throw one properly..

I totally agree, little kids dont know what their doing...they can injure someone easily..these guys know exactly what their doing (somtimes their emotions dont but hey)

I also agree with the sucker punches..thats exactly what don cherry said, if two guys are willing to scrap..WHO CARES

i dont!

I disagree, hitting should be taught at a very early age so they know how to give and more importantly take a check. I have been playing for 11 years now and I know for a fact that my first year of contact was a total shock.

To the point, holy crap that was one awsome fight, there needs to be more of them lol.

Matt I'm not saying it shouldnt be fun. Because by all means it should ONLY be fun at that age. I'm just sayin I was a very aggresive skater and player and did not take crap

AT ALL! I still am to this day very aggresive in hockey...in any sport I play in fact. WHich is why I started Wrestling
