Serge Savard, Hall of Fame Defensemen during 17-year NHL career, and former captain and General Manager (12 seasons) of the Montreal Canadiens says fighting was “the toughest part of my career as a young player. I never wanted to fight, but I was forced to fight. That’s not the way I was born and raised, and I don’t think that’s sports.”

”You can live with the spontaneous fight. That’s something that can happen between brothers, two kids getting into a fight because of an argument. But you don’t want the designated hitter. That’s my view.”

Amen. (Where have you gone Stan Jonathan? 1977-78 G 24, A 25, Pts. 52; PIMs 116; +34)

“Capitalism, which spawned modern individualism as well as the emancipated woman who can support herself, is essentially Darwinian. It expands any society’s sum total of wealth and radically raises the standard of living, but it leaves the poor and weak without a safety net. Capitalism needs the ethical counter-voice of leftism to keep it honest. But leftists must be honest in turn about what we owe to capitalism — without which Western women would have no professional jobs to go to but would be stuck doing laundry by hand and stooping over pots on the hearth fire all day long.”

“The beauty and efficiency of the modern distribution system, …. is one of the many gifts of capitalism that are invisible to academic leftists, who nevertheless expect the light switch to work, their cars to start, and the grocery store to be constantly stocked with fresh milk, orange juice and produce. ”
