Maybe they will amend the rules and have refs stop the fight if the helmets pop off?
I'm not arguing for or against the rule itself. But how do you keep fighting in hockey but make hockey fights safer? That's the question facing the NHL and the NHLPA. Is it possible to make fighters wear protective mitts inside their gloves? Have fighters wear soft protective helmets underneath their hard-shelled helmets? Visors will be on every helmet soon enough what can fighters do if they are fine with the helmets but not the visors?
