I used to think "Fighting is just a part of the game".
Now I know "Fighting is a necessary part of the game".

Exactly. That is why I do not like the direction the NHL is headed.
When enforcer John Scott was voted on the 2016 All Star team as a joke, that was also the playing out or swan song for the leagues enforcers. McGrattan, Orr and Gadzic no longer had jobs and the NHL wasnheading in a different direction.
I’m glad Scott played in that All Star game even if the voting fans first voted him in as a joke, as it was quite symbolic that it was the end of an era...
