I don't see how just a game misconduct for fighting will remove the goons from hockey, as does it matter if they miss one of their three shifts a game because they've been kick out?
They've already done what they've been paid for at that point.

Another idea to stop goons in the nhl would be to reduce the number of players to 9 forwards and 6 d- sure, you can have a goon but good luck icing a competitive team.
