Hello. So why are there next to no finghts in NHL playoff hockey, when there are many in the regular season? After all, if it provides such a spark for players to see a teammate win a fight in a regular season game, wouldn't that spark be needed even more in the playoffs?
The answer is the fighters (goons is a more accurate term) only fight themselves. There's no way a fighter would fight a superstar. If he did, the whole bench would clear irregardless of the rules against it now.
Also, fighters can give their teams a critical penalty, which a team cannot afford in the playoffs.
Now, there's a big difference between a fighting team and a tough team. You can be a tough team that hits hard but clean and not a fighting team. Just like you can be a great major league pitcher without throwing a beanball.
Make the fighting penalties more severe. Fighting is irrelevant. Reduce it as much as possible.
