from Hockey Adventure,
...While your typical NHL enforcer wouldn’t take kindly to being dubbed a Twinkie, what he offers with his fisticuffs is a cheap, junk food-like substitute for the satisfaction of skill-based hockey.
Is fighting popular? Does it sell? Sure. Just like 500 million Twinkies are sold each year. So what? That doesn’t mean it’s good for the consumer.
If the hockey you dish up is of high enough quality in the first place, nobody cares if there’s no fighting.
thanks to a KK member for the pointer…

False dichotomy. Fighting can exist alongside skillful hockey. I prefer to have both. Either without the other is less than ideal to differing degrees.
Btw, awesome condescension there, but the food metaphor is more than a little stretched.
