Sure, he's not that good defensively and sure he's not going to score a lot, but darn can he fight!<BR/><BR/>Please, if I wanted someone on my team that's only good at fighting, I'd turn my channel to the WWE or Boxing (though they don't work in teams) or other crap like that.<BR/><BR/>FIghting has a role in the NHL, but the new rules make it known that it is purely a fringe role at best. <BR/><BR/>The day of the specialist known as the "enforcer" is coming to a close. And it is about time.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Before someone rips me for Cam Janssen, I've been hoping he'd be cut for some time now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1166148752906726452006-12-14T20:12:00.000-06:002006-12-14T20:12:00.000-06:00People who like to see fights in hockey are like p...People who like to see fights in hockey are like people who go to races to see wrecks. Not real fans of the sport. I like a little scrum in front of the net to show whose boss, but the vast majority of fighting in the NHL is without true provocation and rivalry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1166140084902656802006-12-14T17:48:00.000-06:002006-12-14T17:48:00.000-06:00Watching Ryan Hollweg or Cam Janssen duke it out e...Watching Ryan Hollweg or Cam Janssen duke it out every night!!!!!<BR/><BR/>This will open up the ice for the more skilled players.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-1166139392778822612006-12-14T17:36:00.000-06:002006-12-14T17:36:00.000-06:00Yes, Let's get the fight back in the NHL!Yes, Let's get the fight back in the NHL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
