I hate the helmet rule. However, I also think that something should be done to control the amount of fights that happen.
I don't want an outright ban but I would be okay seeing staged fights and dedicated enforcers removed. I feel like a game misconduct and potentially suspensions following multiple repeat offences would help.
I see the purpose fighting can serve in hockey (and I'd be lying if I said they don't entertain me), I just don't think a large majority of the fights in this era of the NHL serve a purpose whatsoever and risks players safety for no reason.
