Just saying I hope they look at it thoroughly before they do anything.

I might agree with some of these measures, but on the condition that fighting still serves some useful purpose to the game. So far as I can see, it no longer does. If it no longer serves a purpose, then why not a total crackdown complete with severe penalties? If there is no good reason to provide for fighting in hockey, then what good reason can there be to not eliminate it?
