My thread got closed but I do think it is a legitimate debate. Suspending fighters for fighting players who A. Completed a clean check and B. The player they fought was unwilling.
They need to start policing this a lot more and need to start handing out suspensions for fights like the Ference/Stempniak fight or like the Emery/Holtby fight.
You want your goons to stay and fight fine. You want fights to still happen on a play that was legitimately dirty, i get it, but still its a reluctant fine from me but last night was as close to assault as you can get IMO and players like Ference need to be held accountable on plays like that.
