Get rid of fighting in the NHL. If the sport is serious about protecting its players from concussions, it will end fighting. Stop publicizing NHL goons.

Vizzle, go watch tennis.

The NHL should widen the ice to an Olympic size sheet. It's the speed, pinpoint passing and shooting that blows your mind (and some well-timed, clean hits). I don't say ban fighting, but it's a sideshow that's a relic of the past.

Gotta love a guy like ZK and his "Old Time Hockey" mentality. Don't know how much of an in game trash talker he is but I'd love to have a seat behind the benches with him and CC on the same team. Did anyone tell Robidas to roll down the window last night?

You should probably get rid of sticks to protect the players too seeing as it was a stick not a fight that gave him 30 stitches. Skates are kind of dangerous too so maybe they should where slippers.
