I disagree with this. Some of the most memorable games I've seen involved big brawls. Especially in the regular season.
But as someone who now knows what fighting does to these guys' brains, I feel guilty at times for liking it. What it comes down to is that the game is entertaining enough to not need fighting.
Maybe stickwork would go up if fighting was eliminated. But the stickwork doesn't do nearly as much long term damage as being punched in the head.
