I enjoyed many of the fights from years gone by, but the fights today just seem more violent and I don't want to witness a life-changing injury or even worse, a death.

You may say that is the risk a player takes when he gets on the ice, but is it really necessary?

Sure, momentum has changed due to a fight, but again, is the risk worth it?

I can live without seeing another fight and may even enjoy the game even more knowing a fight would be dealt with a severe consequence.

It is time folks for our game to remove the mentality of a good fight is just that because with one more punch thrown, we may see something we don't want to witness.

Yes it is easier said than done but the process has to start now before it is too late.

I am happy McGrattan will recover, but what would it feel like if he didn't? Could you handle it?
