I didn't really have a problem with the fighting like others did, but that is pretty cool. I've always found the fighting to be more of a gimmick in these games though, not actually worth the serious attention so many have demanded. Ah well.
There are some very interesting tidbits coming out today. I love the (re)addition of post whistle scrums. There was a version a few years ago where the D would push you around if you got too close to the goalie and it made for some pretty cool moments. Very supportive of penalties after the whistle. I've always enjoyed shenanigans post-whistle, but they did always feel overly arcade-ish.
I thought this was really cool (from the article):

I picked a fight with Ovechkin the other day and Brashear came in and checked me down and started a fight with me, so I learned not to go after Ovechkin after that.

Again, I'm not too sure how much that will effect the overall gameplay, but that is a neat addition.
