Tough guy George Parros of the Montreal Canadiens tripped & fell last night during a fight with Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Cotlton Orr:
Parros is a tough guy but he met his match with that shiny sheet of ice (which can be unforgiving from time to time). Those who speculate that this is the reason why fighting should be revised in the NHL are not making a reasonable judgement call. This is hockey, not basketball or soccer. When a bunch of grown men in pads & sticks skate around at 30 mph hitting each other, theres going to be a fight.
It's tradition, and just because George had a "spaz" moment & busted his face on the ice doesn't mean that tradition must be re-made for the sake of safety. Let them play.
