prompt: as a hockey fan it has always bothered me that fighting is allowed.  i know that anyone involved in a fight is generally given a five minute penalty. i don't think that's enough.  i believe fighting of any kind should result in a five game suspension.  i think fighting will disappear with that kind of penalty.  there is no need for fighting in hockey.

chosen: I can understand your opinion that fighting should carry with it a harsher penalty, and it's easy to understand why – fighting is a risky and dangerous activity that leads to serious injuries from time to time. While some may disagree, I think the NHL has the right policy in place with a five-minute misconduct penalty with further action from the league if deemed necessary. I personally think the current policy is enough to discourage fighting while also punishing players for taking part in it. But, it's easy to see why you disagree, as fighting could be a risky activity which should be punished harshly.
