It has nothing to do with the relevance of fighting in hockey, but his question was regarding the relevance of the information of that poll. I really don't understand why you can't see this and choose to talk about irrelavent points..

Not to get into a back and forth, but the gist of this thread is "toughness" and the lack thereof with the Canadiens.
A member posted a poll regarding the players not wanting to get rid of fighting. Fighting goes hand in hand with toughness......despite the staunch denial by some here.
Asking about a speculative poll that never happened regarding
helmets on a thread about toughness is completely irrelevant. It would make as much sense in this thread if I were to ask you if you knew the poll results of players regarding the elimination of the
two line pass rule.
But then again, this thread has had so many twists and turns away from the original topic that I expect nothing less.
