Do you miss bench-clearing brawls?
I do.
Sure, it isn’t technically “part of the game”, but why not allow these to happen.
Instead of having beastly players (Donald Brashear / George LaRaque) take cheap-shots at each other’s star players all season long. Just get the hatred out in one large shot.
When’s the last time one happened in the NHL anyways? It seems to have been a long, long time.
I found some great bench-clearing clips…

Bench clearing brawls were great in their day. Unfortunately I don’t think we will ever see many of them again. I loved to see them in the day and would really like to see more of them, I just think it will never happen again.
