But,.... every professional hockey player, coach and other insider knows, that sometimes it is worth of it!

So, when is a right time to fight?

Let me answer by description of particular game situation: Your team just got two cheap goals after pretty equal first period. You played well, but you just can't make the last move to score, to make final pass and so on - you're just kind of missing a little piece .... and attitude is going slightly down. So, how to change it? YES, you've got it! .....It's time for succesful hockey fight action. And try to win. It has changed many almost lost hockey games.
