And fighting minimizes cheap shots
And yes there is a such thing as power forwards and fighting is not a waste
of time at all! You clearly never played hockey outside of house or at
least the junior level
You guys as caps fans should be thrilled to have him wake up
Those articles make valid points on fighting in the game. But fighting
isn’t something that shouldnt be measured statisticly. The caps have never
been a very tought guy team. But when you see teams like boston, Chicago
etc. (tsucessful T) They all have big gritty guys. The caps are a very
technical team. not very physical. Wilson can help ark the start of a
stronger tougher team. Pure skill can only get you so far in a game. Also
Althought Wilson fights a lot. He is super hungry with the puck.
Fightin is a key aspect needed in todays game. ersk and olesky seem to be
holding back on fighting so someone needed to step up. Wilson is trying to
make any impact that he can since he doesn’t get much ice time. Power
Forwards do exist. Look at players like jarome ignila
If fighting really were a key aspect of hockey, you’d expect to see a lot
of fights in close games. Instead, it’s the opposite. Re: power forwards,
check out the link in the description. Pretty interesting stuff.
I added some links to the description above that discuss your points
directly.
I completely agree, but you’ve got to admit that he’s fun to watch.
Fighting provides a emotional swing. It can help to rally the guys to a
win. It also provides a physical aspect and sends the other a message. It
can also set a stance of dominace Fighting is rare in tie games because
they want full lines out there. They want as many guys contributing as
possible to try and get the win. When a game isn’t close fighin results
because of a teams frustration and they wanna do anything possible to rally
a win. Fightin also can take key players out of a game.
