NHL fighting gets a little more serious



With the recent death of minor league player Don Sanderson, who went into a coma and later died after a fight, and the shocking images of American Hockey League player Garrett Klotz going into convulsions after a fight Friday night, NHL GMs will begin breaking down what, if anything, to do about fighting at their annual meetings in Florida in early March.

Some, including New Jersey Devils president and GM Lou Lamoriello, predict changes are coming to how the league deals with fighting.

On Friday, St. Louis Blues president John Davidson said he is a traditionalist when it comes to changing the game, "but you have to evolve."
