See, I don't like fighting myself (although I think it's kind of hilarious given that they almost never actually injure each other), but some fights are justified, like defending your goalie if someone pushes him around. And some fights are just inevitable, like that video I posted... Habs/Nordiques was a huge rivalry in the days before the Nords moved to Colorado, so a playoff game between the two was bound to blow up. Same as every Habs/Bruins game involves fighting. Even if you tried to stop it, you probably couldn't. And even if some people cheer at the fights, they'll invariably cheer louder at a fantastic goal. It depends on the fight.
