Re: Banning Fighting in NHL

Those are pretty good rough ideas.

I don't think fighting and cheap shots have ANY correlation anymore. No one answers the bell anymore. The bell should be a suspension handed down from the league, and hopefully with Shanahan in charge there, something, ANYTHING will get done, and get dealt with correctly.

If anything, I wish they'd lean towards more severe punishments instead of going on the lighter end. Something, ANYTHING has to be done because this is getting too crazy. A really good player can't play anymore (Savard), and a top 3 player is still dealing with concussion issues (Crosby). Not to mention the David Perron's of the league who are still having problems due to a concussion.
