It's a GREAT GAME and IMO does NOT need this to be GREAT.
Do any other hockey fans out there agree or not? Curious....

Actually it is part of the game. You are obviously not Canadian. In Canada you will drive around the streets and see kid playing street hockey like they do in Waynes World and you will see them imitate hockey fights and every other aspect of the game. If it wasn't part of the game the rules would say you would be banned everytime you got into a fight and they don't and so it is an integral part of the game. If you watch enough hockey you will know that a fight can be the turn around point in a game. It leads the crowd and the players to take it to the next level. So yeah 100% it is part of the game.
