Was looking into something on fighting (reduction from previous seasons in the NHL) I looked at the EIHL stats and it seems Flyers haven't had a single fight this season. Is this right?

Could the fact we have no fighters in the team to protect the skill guys be a contributory factor in why we aren't seeing the best out of certain players

Last season I am sure Gauthier led the league in fights, or was very close to it? He hasn't dropped the gloves once this season. Now is that down to the league going all soft or Dutes telling him not to fight?

At least Gauthier throws an occasional check. I can think of at least four of our star imports who seem to avoid physical contact at all costs. The Basaraba influence is obviously still around!!

Yup he did lead the league, we were 5th from 11 teams last season in fights, not sure that had anyone bustin the door down to watch them last season either. With our relationship with DOPs it's perhaps wise to stay away from that kind of stuff. Not as though I have seen us bullied in any game played this season. The tune gets old. |

Gauthier is far too important to us to be fighting, he’s our best player by a mile this year, what he needs is someone to back him up so he can throw some more big hits, he hit more last year, and had more fights, he’s probably hitting less this year because either he or Todd doesn’t want him fighting, if he had a gagnon type behind him he could play the power game without worrying what might happen, Gauthiers a tough guy but we don’t need him going head to head with Springer, Gagnon etc.
