Old Time Hockey

I didn't get the chance to see any hockey tonight, an 11-page sports section and a tight deadline has a way of keeping you occupied. But from what I read, things in Nashville got a little testy.

After the game Nashville coach Barry Trotz accused the Sharks of turning the game into a 'street brawl.' Meanwhile, San Jose bench boss Ron Wilson was to angry to say anything.

Since I didn't see it I can't really comment on it, but I'd like to throw out another question of the day (and this feature is quickly turning into a private discussionbetween Lloyd and myself).

Does fighting belong in today's NHL? And more specifically, does it belong in the playoffs?
