That's the problem, too many euro's. Each team has like one guy that can fight and they are buried on the 4th line. I am a big Rangers fan and they have no toughness. Colton Orr is on the 4th line or doesn't play and a guy like Avery has to fight teams by himself. I miss guys like Toccett, Melanby, Messier, guys that have talent and not afraid to throw 'em if they have too. There are only a handful around now, Iginla and Lecavalier come to mind. But it is now the kinder faster NHL that makes it on national TV. So they don't want to see guys beatin the piss out of each other (sends the wrong message). I miss the old gritty, pushing and shoving after every whistle NHL, but those days are far gone.
