This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Documentary recommendation by HoundDog1973

I recently watched “Ice Guardians” on Netflix and thought it was very good. It is about fighting and the role of the enforcer in hockey. It looks at the issue historically, the role it plays in injuries and concussions, how it is good for the game, and why some people want to eliminate it. It is well done and very frankly addresses a somewhat controversial subject. The main takeaway is that the enforcer is very valuable to his team and the game as a whole. I think it is worth a hockey fan’s time to check it out. It was made in 2016 I believe. I don’t recall seeing any discussion here about it before.
