I said alter the rule, not remove it. But I do understand your point. I'm just against the free pass you get if you have a good goalie who can play the puck. As for the gloves coming off, you remember when Cloutier beat the hell out of Tommy Salo and then challenged the whole Islander bench...man that was great
Another huge thing in the league now is that chumps are not punished for their actions on the ice. Barry Melrose bought up a good point last night when Ville Nieminen ran Cujo at the end of the game. There was no reason for that...but guys like him go around and do stuff like that all the time now.
