GO HOCKEY FIGHT

Yes, I know I sound like a broken record with the issue of fighting in the National Hockey League; so on that note I thought I would pass this on to you...

There are a few points brought up about how to improve the game: The one I am a big/huge/massive fan of is the push to make the ice surface bigger. As I have joked about before, the current 200 by 85 foot dimension is too small and has been since about 1970!

I'm sure some fans would lose interest -- a little bit -- if fighting were to be outlawed, but I do, no surprise, agree with those who believe that, overall, this small rule change would make "the world's most exciting team sport" more marketable in the States.
