The Boston Bruins Need More 'Fight'

from Michael Felger of CSNNE,

Fighting is down across the NHL, and the B's have been all too willing to go with the flow. I don't think that's a good thing.

According to the folks at hockeyfights.com, the Bruins rank 14th in the NHL with 26 fights. And for those of us who have watched most of them, calling some of these altercations actual "fights" is being kind. It's safe to say the B's are at a soft 26.

Anyway, that's way down from last year, when the B's had 46 fighting majors. And that's down from the year before, when the B's had 32 fights over 48 games (a pace of 55 over an 82-game schedule). And that was down from the 61 they put up in 2011-12.

I'm not good at numbers, but I'm sensing a trend. It's gotten so bad that Montreal fights more than the Bruins.
