It's gotta go. In an age of MMA as a high profile mainstream sport, hockey doesn't need to keep pace. It's dangerous and not the point of the game itself. Big, well-placed and timely hits can accomplish just as much - if not more - entertainment value than two guys opening up the concussion cans on each other. Remember the Sarich hit on Marleau? I think most fans remember that more than they remember any one particular fight.
I think it's time for it to be fully banned.
