When in reality, there are studies that show fighting only counts for 5% of concussions in the sport of hockey. \u00a0The realism is that fighting is a dying breed, and the role of the enforcer just simply no longer exists. \u00a0Hockey has become a true skill and speed game, but is the lack of an enforcer truly good for the game? Kyle and Mike dive in on this topic this week.\u00a0In addition, the guys talk about the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/philadelphia-phillies\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> season thus far, along with the Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook @YWTpodcast<br \/>\nFollow You Would Think on Twitter @YWTpodcast<br \/>\nFollow Kyle Collington on Twitter @kcollington<br \/>\nFollow Mike Giletto on Twitter @mike_giletto<\/p>\n<p>Logo created by Ben Resnick (follow him on twitter @bennythejet55)<\/p>\n<p>Music courtesy of www.bensound.com<\/p>\n<p>You Would Think: The Philly Sports Podcast is available on Last Word on Sports, Podbean, iTunes, and Google Play.<\/p>\n<p><em>You Would Think: The Philly Sports Podcast is brought to you by Last Word On Sports.
