Of course it is.
Can someone explain to me the logic of a physical altercation where you are engaging in actions designed to hurt that person, but not hurt them THAT badly.
He punches Kessy to the ice and then immediately calls for help.
Yeah man - when you punch someone and cause them to fall to the ice - there's a chance they could ACTUALLY get hurt. WTF
I mean it's just silly, reckless and unnecessary.
And it WILL be eliminated at some point. We all know that.
So let's just cut to the chase and do it now.
At some point, say in 10 years, we will look back and wonder how on earth it was still allowed, much in the same way we marvel at how players used to play without helmets.
What's appalling is that we now know enough about brain injuries that there is NO reason why the logical steps haven't already been taken to eliminate fighting.
It's the great embarrassment of the sport I love.
