    Colin Campbell discusses Gregory's performance for his college hockey team and the effectiveness of his line. He also considers publicly advocating to reduce or eliminate fighting in the NHL, noting his own dislike of fighting as a player but that it was often necessary, especially in the 1970s. Campbell questions whether the game could still function without fighting serving as an enforcement mechanism, using Matt Cooke as an example of a player who may take more liberties without the threat of retaliation through fighting.

    How was the weekend ie college hockey. Gregory had 3 assists ... probably should have had 4 on
    Sat. There line is pretty good ... with Dvorak and Peltonen. Question for you ... .I am thinking of
    coming out and saying it's time .... to get rid of fighting ... or at least take major steps to reduce it. I
    will need my bosse's ok but thinking strongly of it. I hated fighting ... had to do it
    though ... particularly in the 70's but it is stupid. I don't remember one fight on pond hockey or ball
    hockey. Will I get fried? Will it work. . .I mean the game in the NHL without the great equalizer ie
    fighting? Like ... now.... Cooke can run whoever he wants and there is no pressure on him to fight
    like there was in the 70's or 80's! Think about it.

    No, little guy and big guy collide ... Pronger draws attention (and deservedly so) everytime he has contact with people
    but not here.

    His hit on Parise wasn't included in our hilights' pack. Anything to it?
    Thanks
