Shouldn't hockey players have to score goals before they fight?

Ok, So….I’m “watching” this hockey game because I don’t know where the remote is anyway it’s the 2nd period and the score is 0–0 but there has been like 6 fights in the time I’ve been watching… Shouldn’t hockey players…you know….PLAY HOCKEY….. Or am I misunderstanding…should I be upset because they are breaking up the fights to “play hockey” ???

Warren Zevon didn’t think so.

Are you suggesting that fights at hockey games should be scheduled somehow? Only permitted after a certain amount of game play has occurred or only after a certain number of goals have been scored? Really, honestly, that’s positively un-American and I imagine very kind of un-Canadian too.
