I have to say I agree here and I think a couple people are being ridiculous in their defence of fighting (and even hitting, in the sense it's being talked about).
There is no reason that fighting or big hits need to be in the NHL where the cost doesn't significantly outweigh the benefit. To think that isn't a moral position, it's a logical one.
