I doubt it, if you think the pantywaists are going to stop now you are nuts. They just won another major victory over the lovers of tough hockey, they've eliminated the bench brawls, now they have all but eliminated the line brawl and the goalie fight so take a guess at what they will aim for next.
The one on one fight is next people. Dont forget about the "game misconduct for instigating a fight" as well. What do you think this is going to do to guys who want to drop the gloves? It is going to make them very, very leary of doing such. Also no coach is going to send his lone enfocer or toughguy out there early in games to change momentum with a fight and take the chance he gets goaded into dropping the gloves just to get him out of the game. This is terrble news if you like fights no matter how you look at it and will most likely result in a huge drop in fights in the Q.

Where have all the good commisioners gone? Remember when the heads of the sport actually took concern about what fans want to see? Where have all those guys gone?
