It’s time to get rid of executives like Daly and make fighting a match penalty.

The Flames have a tough player whom we really like (Pospisil) who, because of his concussion history, should never be taking part in a hockey fight. And I’m sure there are more than a few players in the NHL in a similar position.
And yet some, including in the media, have called for Pospisil to fight because of the style of game he plays.
How f'd up is that? Everyone knows he's had several concussions and the long-term impacts of several of them. And yet people still want him to fight.

Disgusting.
