Quick Hits: Is Fighting On Its Way Out Of The NHL?

As long as hockey has been a game, fighting has been apart of it. Regulated by the NHL in 1922, the league has seen thousands of fights — for better or worse — along with its fair share of dirty play mixed in, too.

Over the years some teams have developed a reputation for being dirty teams and right at the top are the Boston Bruins and Anaheim Ducks. Since 2010/11, for example, the Bruins (371 fighting majors) and the Ducks (363 fighting majors), rank number one and two in terms of dropping the mitts.

Right near the top, includes the Ottawa Senators (323), Columbus Blue Jackets (316), and the team once known as the Broad Street Bullies for their rough game, the Philadelphia Flyers (309).
