Great game. What a move by Datsyuk just now.

I used to enjoy watching hockey...but not unlike football these days, the players seem to relish inflicting as much damage onto each other in an almost perverse manner. I think that's another reason UFC fighting has become mainstream, as we move into a de-evolution mode in America.
There's a lot of angry/bent/damaged goods in our society as a function of the breakdown of the family unit.

Hockey is much less violent then it used to be. Whats wrong with a little fisticuffs between men in the heat of sport?
But your right, it does not reflect societies amazing evolution from physical violence inflicting pain, to manipulation, greed, corruption and the many passive ways pain is inflicted by respectable members of society.
Lets keep a little violence in sport. Shows where we came from. Although I don't like Dana White from UFC, he once said, "Your making your ancestors proud.", regarding one of the fights. That resonated with me.
It's sport. If we remove the passion and the physicality, what do we have? Remove the cheap shots, as much as you can though, to keep our players safe.
