What Good Are Staged Fights?

Pierre LeBrun of ESPN on the fight last night between David Dziurzynski and Frazer McLaren,

The sight of Ottawa Senators forward Dave Dziurzynski lying on the ice, knocked out, after a getting pounded into submission by Toronto Maple Leafs heavyweight Frazer McLaren sickened me to no end.

Oh, wait, no one ever gets hurt in a hockey fight, right?

What a crock.

I am 100% behind LeBrun on this, what good are they, most happen either at the start of the game or right after the puck is dropped from a faceoff.

These types of fights add nothing to the game and have been disgusting to watch.

Yes, I think fighting should be part of the game, but these staged fights have never been part of the game.

Missed the fight? Watch it here.
