Wow, NBC has a game on, Chicago and Detroit, can't watch it though, got Pierre McGuire preaching his no fighting again, someone just made a decent hit and Mcguire says:
'the nice thing is he didn't have to defend himself in a fight, normally today after a big hit you have to fight, want to keep hitting in the game teach these knuckleheads who take these retaliatority penalties after a good hit'
That's not an exact quote couldn't type as quickly as he was talking, but it's basicaly what he was saying. Now when has taking hitting out of the game been mentioned? Take hitting out and you're left with men playing womens hockey, and you'll have zero fans watching that, if I wanted to watch Europan hockey I'll stream it online. The Mcguires, Bettmans, Campbells of this world are trying to kill hockey as people know and love it, take hitting out, take fighting out, instigator rules, hell they already made cherry picking allowed with taking away the blue line which is bullshit in my opinion.
Oh yeah, still waiting for someone to poke Mcguie i nthe beak, or hit him in the mouth with the puck, he's between the benches again so there's still hope. Personally I'd want to kill him if he was sitting there trying to talk to me during the game.
