Male vs Female EASHL

If the two are gonna be an option they need to behave the same. Too many players pick female sprites so that they don't have to fight, and to my knowledge they can't be hit the same way and seem to b...

@rsandersr47 I've wanted fighting simply removed from the EASHL altogether. It's not fun being punished for having a clean hit on someone. Unless they gonna do it right and give the person who starts the fight after the clean hit a 10min misconduct also.

I haven't noticed any advantage of a female over male when it comes to checking/getting checked. Some of those big builds are absolutely insane to knock off the puck also if you invest in them properly. Enforcers aren't even needed in the game anymore much like real life.

I’ve long been a proponent of putting the instigator penalty in the game for the “forced” fighting. It would deter a lot of these idiots.

  I don't know that the instigator penalty really applies. The auto-fights happen when you injure someone with a hit. I have a feeling people would still hit just as often even with the chance of an instigator. Which isn't really fair if you're not actually instigating a fight. I'd rather just see the option to decline the fight and have both players take offsetting minors.

    There shouldn't be a fight to decline in the first place and injuries shouldn't be a factor if the hit was technically clean.
    
    NHL is already looking for better ways to address white knight fights so hopefully it will make its way to the game soon.
    
    I would probably hit people even more knowing the other team would be in the box for longer - Boarding, charging, and hits from behind were already removed for modes like 3v3 so there are basically zero negatives to filling people in.
