NHL to change the rules of hockey, try to get fans back.

The most interesting change, in regards to players starting fights in the last 5 minutes of a game:

As well, the player's Coach will be fined $10,000 -- a fine that would double for each such incident.

Sadly, that doesn't apply to all fights regardless of when they occur in the game.

Shit, that's the only reason I ever watch hockey to begin with.

To watch them *not* play hockey?

You need a hobby, dude.

Or take up watching boxing.

Boxing is boring. So predictable. Hockey fights interrupt an otherwise boring sport.

Wait, they're trying to stop fights in order to get more fans? Riiiight. That'll work.

No, they're trying to stop fights at the end of the game, which drag the game out longer.

Seems like fights are a draw no matter when they happen. The players will have to move the timetable up a bit then =)
