get rid of helmets and get rid of the instigator rule and this shit would stop

players have no respect

I like the two handers to the back of the knee when a guy in his defensive zone turns to go up ice. the play is behind the scene and rarely called as a result. Somebody will get a career ending injury one day from one of those.
:homo: I've been preaching this for years.

I agree 100% with you.
I also agree that the officials can't see everything, but Colin Campbell and Bettman have access to the replays.
Truly baffling how they didn't deem that as Fine\Suspension worthy.
It starts at the grass roots level, teach the kids not to hit like that and they (hopefully) won't hit like that in the big league.

The thing that really made my eyebrows raise was the logic: we can't fine/suspend Matt Cooke for doing exactly what Mike Richards did since we didn't fine/suspend him. Erm, what? So you didn't fine one guy so you're going to continue to let it happen by not fining/suspending the next guy. In effect, they're basically condoning the behavior.

Mind you, I feel a bit of a traitor saying these things about someone on my own team, but a bad hit is a bad hit. :thumbdown
