Because it's a manly, virile masculine sport. If they don't FIGHT occasionnally, people will start to think they are some sort of gay skate dancers.
It's like your closeted gay accointance who keeps reassuring himself by declaring loudly that he hates gays and gays disgust him.

Fights don't belong to hockey. They don't fight that much nowadays which is a good thing.

That only happens on tv. They want you to think anyone who is disgusted by gay sex is actually secretly gay.

Fights in hockey are the players way of policing themselves

It's to keep me from going out and trying to steamroll some guy.
If I drop a massive check on some guy to fuck shit up I need to be willing to also possibly be willing to throw and take punches from some toothless fuck who makes 6 likely 7 figures to keep me from doing exactly what I just did.

A possible 2 minute penalty isn't enough

Not so much these day but teams needed a goon to protect the skill players. Nobody will take a big shot at the star if he has a 6'5 goon backing him up. Cross the line? The gloves come off

All true. Although Hockey fights are getting more rare. NHL is the only place with a decent amount of fights, in other leagues it's not accepted.

If fighting were in the NFL, bountygate would have never been a thing. They're all braindead as well, anyway, so they should implement fighting to curb brutal tackles.
