It seems to me that there has been quite a bit of discussion about fighting on the boards lately. Now I know that this is not nearly as bad as brawling on the field has been in past years, but I still thinks it marrs our game.
I realize that we are involved in a game of heightened passion and emotion, and that we are all prone to going over the top on occaison - I was thrown out of a few games as a younger man for pushing and shoving matches - but should we consider looking at long-term suspensions for throwing punches or maliciously violent/vulgar action on the field directed toward any entity?
