Re: Brendan Shanahan - The biggest joke of the NHL?????
Sorry but I agree those are fake fights. Fights that come as a part of play are one thing...two guys pulling that crap look like wussies not like tough guys.

Re: Brendan Shanahan - The biggest joke of the NHL?????
Here's a link to a USA Today article with the author of The Code:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hocke...fighting_N.htm
Pertaining to your "fake fights:"
Rules of engagement. When one issues the universal challenge, "Want to go?" both typically drop their gloves at the same time to avoid a two-minute instigator penalty. It's bad form for a tough guy fresh off the bench to challenge another who's tired at the end of his shift, says Bernstein. There's professional courtesy. Fedoruk says he has declined to pick fights with rivals recovering from a broken hand, stitches or a facial injury.

Originally posted by St. Clown View PostThey did that? It happens quite often. And I don't like it as part of the game. If a fight happens as a result of the action, that's one thing. If a fight is agreed upon, I don't like it, it's staged and therefore I call it a fake fight. It's yet one more reason I prefer college hockey.

I've always found it ironic that Shanahan is the all-time NHL leader in Gordie Howe Hat Tricks.
