I agree and honestly I think its going to take somebody being killed, paralyzed or left a vegetable before they really take a serious look and do anything about it. Although I have to wonder if that had been Crosby laying on the ice would they have finally taken it seriously? I dunno, its frustrating.
Today Colin Campbell was going on about how he didn't see an elbow so he's still evaluating how to handle it. Should it really matter if it was an elbow? His shoulder? His stick? The result of the hit should be what matters not what Cooke used to deliver it. From the sound of it they will probably give him a token 4 games and try to sweep another ugly head shot under the rug and hope the whole thing goes away. Sometimes I think the NHL is run by complete idiots.
Agree with you on touch icing as well. I saw the video package they ran on Coaches Corner last week and the whole time I'm thinking after ALL of that the NHL is still deliberating on what to do. Seriously...idiots, nothing else can possibly explain it.
