Stu Grimson: My case for fighting in a dangerous game

I like some of the things they've done in terms of chin straps. Players shouldn't remove their helmets during a fight. I think that makes great sense. For the life of me, I can't understand why two people who are going to engage in a fight on the ice want to take their helmets off to begin with. To me, it's a recipe for disaster when one guy suffers a blow and goes down unconscious with a naked head on the ice. I've seen what happens when that happens. I like the change in that area if it can be enforced.
