Good point. As I don't follow hockey that much, didn't stop to think about the increase in cheap shots that would occur if no fighting was allowed. I still remember seeing that player convulsing on the ice a couple of years ago after being blind sided. I saw it on an ESPN highlight. He was almost in a coma and just quivering on the ice. I guess it would take a long time to have a change affect the culture in the sport. Too much money involved for the league to change it. If the fans love it the way it is and spend their money attending the games, the NHL isn't about to clean it up. Good discussion.
