Are we going to let players shoot this hard?
Are we going to let players play without cages?
Are we going to let players play without neck-guards?

I couldn't agree more that someday 2 men chucking fists at each other standing on ice could turn into a fatality... but so can multiple factors that go into the game
That's not really relevant.
Just because other parts of the sport are dangerous, that's not relevant in determining the necessity and danger of fighting.

That's like the old "I know guns kill people, but so do knives & hammers, are we gonna ban those too?"
