nice poll..

I can't really say I agree with too much of what you say. I think the majority of us missed fighting in NHL 94. I agree the fighting in NHL 92 was a little ridiculous (too much), but NHLPA 93's fighting was perfect. About 1-3 fights per game, with better movement than 92's fights. It's just fun knocking someone out and making them bleed. How does it get old? Fighting is a part of hockey and its stupid not to include it in the game. A fight breaking out when youre on a breakaway might be annoying but hey ITS SUPPOSED BE! LOL! Makes the game realistic like REAL hockey is! I dont get the point about fights getting old though. Kinda like saying one timers get old, etc. But to each his own. I loved the fights in 93. Its what real hockey is all about, and it gives the game a purpose if youre getting blown out. As for 1-timers...they are fun but honestly they make scoring too easy/predictable sometimes. But I have nothing against them really, it's just, I kinda like 93 better without them the way it is. More fun to score in less predicatable ways and 93 is really great at that. You have to really think about how to score and not rely on the 1-timer all the time. Makes your brain work and in turn you come up with some fun ways to score. Also your point about 8 people not being enough for a league I disagree with. You say thats not enough for a competition but I think the exact opposite. Smaller leagues tend to survive because you develop a community amongst the players. Its smaller so its more personal, and its a lot easier to get all the games played. Huge leagues are great in theory, but honestly its almost impossible to keep track of 30 guys and the competition (just like real sports) get really diluted with so many players. Best to go with a small league of talented players imo. Back in the day there were only 6 teams and then 12, and many people will tell you this was hockey's greatest era. You dont need massive amounts of teams for a fun league. In fact, the less the better for me. Its about quality, not quantity. But hey, dont listen to me. I'm just an NHLPA 93 fanboy so my view is biased as heck!
