NHL 10 might teach kids that fighting is necessary

From Ars Technica:

NHL 10 sports a number of new features and improvements for players to enjoy, including a new fight system that one retired NHL player believes will teach kids that brawls are a necessary part of the sport.

Every hockey fan knows the fights are the best part ... right behind the stanley cup finals.

So what's his point?

I thought that there was a series of fights, and while that was going on, a game of (ice?) hockey broke out.......

I thought fighting was in the rules of hockey (or at least an unsaid rule)

show me a game that doesn't resort to violence, and I'll show you a B grade Nintendo title.

It very much is ... Third man in for instance is in the rules saying that whom ever is the third man into a fight gets a major.

There is also the rule that as soon as one guy hits the ice and is unable to get on his feet, the fight is stopped.

The general rule of not fighting the refs also applies.

LOL... I love hockey. the last gentleman's fighting game.
