I have to admit that it's changed my view. I guess I'd always imagined that heavyweights viewed themselves the way boxers or mixed martial artists did - that fighting was their sport and they were ok with that. Now, Between the deaths and the interviews (Fedoruk's was particularly haunting), I'm coming into the view that a lot of these guys really hate their roles but continue to do it because it's a way for them to make it into the NHL. I don't want fighting out of the NHL but I think more and more that the league should do away with the designated heavyweight and staged fights.
