[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":929f1]Well I've been to a few Dallas Stars games, and it is true. Maybe not up in Canada, where I'm sure the fans appreciate the sport for what is it (much like Canadian wrestling fans appreciate the wrestling aspect).[/quote:929f1]

Most of the time if I'm going to an AHL or NHL game with friends, it's usually the one who has been to one or two hockey games in his life or someone with only a stereotypical understanding of hockey that says " OH I CANT WAIT TILL THEY FIGHT. "

I'm sure majority of American hockey fans are there for the sport, not just Canadians. It'd be a rather steep generalization to say otherwise.
