I only enjoy the fights that aren't staged and are a result of a tightly contested playoff series between two teams that hate one another.
Clean hits and regular season games don't really have the same stakes, so it makes the fights feel staged and inorganic.
Though I will admit that banning fighting would be the best outcome for the players' health.
EDIT: Editing because I wanted to list Iggy's fight against Lecavalier as an example of the kind of fight that I love. All passion with the highest stakes.
