It’s about time the National Hockey League got wise and changed the rules of hockey. The old rules rewarded no-talent schmucks that only know how to hook and grab instead of playing the game.
Despite what some people think putting your stick around another guys waste and pulling him back is not what the game is about. Hitting a player that doesn’t have is interference, not part of the game.
Players that can’t keep up with these new rules should never have been in the NHL in the first place. These rules are going to allow the talented players like Sydney Crosby, Joe Thorton and others to do what they do best: play hockey.
On the Rangers, Bruins game tonight they showed highlights of previous games where players standing in front of the net were getting clobbered. I don’t know how they managed to stay in the game — they were being hacked, crosschecked from behind and punched in the head.
In tonight’s game there were penalties called all the time and good for them. If the game is going to be rebuilt, we need to support the officials and league.
