From the editor's desk: Joe Vitale injury a reminder of the NHL's fighting contradiction

This is generally not the kind of message you want to see from the official Twitter account of any team:

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Joey V! We appreciate all the good wishes from the Pack. #WeAreCoyotes pic.twitter.com/TGxIrQwHIB

The Arizona Coyotes lost Joe Vitale midway through his season debut thanks to this fight with Boston's Kevan Miller.

The Coyotes have not said what the "upper body injury" actually is, but judging by the multiple blows to the head in rapid succession, a concussion is one of the possible issues (his jaw and eye are also two possible injuries).
