  Yeh, as far as hockey fights go this one wasn't bad, especially lengthwise. But I don't know if I'd be giving these guys any kudos. I mean isn't this what they get paid for? because they sure come out on the short end of the stick when it comes to hockey skills. If you add Belak's and Janssens's ice time together you probably come out with the total of one of Sidney Crosby's shifts. And as usual the NHL is ass backwards when it comes to fighting. Once the playoffs start the fighting drops off the face of the earth. But if a team ever needed a quick pick-me-up or a boost it's definitely in the playoffs. If your back's against the wall and you're down 3-0 in a series and 3-0 in the fourth game, isn't this the time to drop the gloves to avoid a sweep and take a desperate stab at staying alive? What the hell purpose does a fight do for you in a meaningless 6-0 regular season game? The playoffs are the time to drop the gloves.
