I never write about the NHL...ever. Maybe once before...and I will give the NHL credit for their playing outdoors. I think that's innovative and really cool. Those were good events.
I realize that fighting is a part of hockey but on the Sportscenter Highlight with Barry Melrose the two things that I remember are fights. Not great play, but fights. They were proud that a finesse goal scorer tried to get in on a fight. It was good that he threw some punches...I'm not exactly sure if this is the best image of the game to leave in people's minds. Everyone loves to watch a fight, so long as they or some one they care about are not in it. However, I doubt people are going to get into a hockey game because of just a fight. The NHL and it's media parters have to highlight great play more.
