Keep punching!

The prime directive when it comes to fighting in NHL games. No other tactic must be taken except to keep punching the opponent player. Onlookers are obligated to constantly instruct or remind the player fighting to keep punching until the fight is over. (i.e. "KEEP PUNCHING! KEEP PUNCHING! KEEP PUNCHING!") The faster and louder the communal chant the better.

Depending on the outcome, there are only two possible explanations as to why the fight was was won or lost:
 * If the fight was won, it was because the fighter followed instructions and kept punching,
 * If the fight was lost, it was because the fighter did not follow instructions and stopped punching. Next time they should try punching.
