from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe,
Instead of jumping Commodore from behind and delivering Wild West justice, Stuart wheeled in front of him so they were face to face, and demanded he stand up for his actions. Commodore agreed, they shed their gloves and fought.
“You don’t want to just grab a guy from behind,” Stuart said. “I made sure I got his attention before I dropped the gloves.”...
The civility of fighting traces its DNA to hockey’s roots: hardscrabble Canadian farm boys who would try everything to beat - and beat up - their friends and brothers, but do so with a sense of honor. As fighting has evolved amid its detractors’ insistence that it remains hockey’s Neanderthal corner, The Code has stood true to offer its puffy-knuckled brawlers some structure: Fight for yourself. Fight for your teammates. Fight to spark emotion.
