I won't miss the stupid, 80 feet behind the puck, totally stop the flow of play bull#### fights though. Or the right off the face-off fights. They're so dumb.

I would wager it is much higher in the past few years. the NHL has almost eliminated the staged fights, sure some still occur, but I see that most of them are "staged" because a guy made a dirty play and then got off the ice before anyone could fight him.
Not saying it's right, but I think the number of staged fights is really low
