Since the untimely deaths of three popular "enforcers" last year, the NHL has put at the forefront the issue of fighting in the game.  Traditionalists will argue that the physicality of the sport won't allow for a total ban on fighting.  The other side of the aisle will state that the game suffers because of these bouts.
