“The model for an NHL without fighting is right there in front of us. The [playoffs are] the time of year that fans love best; when the best hockey is played... [The] enforcers don't play. Even mini-enforcers... remain on the bench. Teams and coaches can't afford anything stupid and unpredictable... With no one to fight back for them, players go harder into the corners, more determinedly to the front of the net. If they want to fire up the crowd and their teammates, they have to do it themselves. And in the playoffs, they do.” IfsWantInspirationalYearsPlayMotivationalFightingLove IsFirePlayerTeamFansFrontsStupidModelsHarderCrowdsCornersCoachesHockeyUnpredictableTeammateNhlBenchesPlayoffsBest Hockey Author:Ken Dryden
