In hockey, in order for this to work, once the whistle blows everything has to stop. No fighting after clean hits, no bumping goalies, no pushing and shoving, no facewashes etc... You can't continuously punch Sedin in the face (as much fun as that was_
Right? In football, a receiver absolutely gets smoked by a hit to the head. The refs call a foul and eject the player. No fight happens, the players trust the process.

I think this is an excellent point, and fans and coaches will go crazy over it, but it needs to happen. Very first thing to eliminate right now is fighting after a hit, if you go and jump a player after they have delivered a hit to your teammate, toss em and suspend em. It’s the dumbest thing left in the game right now and needs to stop now and is easy to do.
