Except that it isn't what the fans want. Proof of this is in the new NHL rules combined with RECORD attendance at ALL NHL venues since they've returned. People want to see hockey, they may even want to see an occational 'fight'. But, I highly doubt anyone wants to see a guy sucker punched in the head from behind then driven face first into the concrete-like ice so hard that his neck breaks and can't ever play hockey again.
