So true. A few years ago they were showing a bunch of old school games and it was hellarious what the players were doing to each other.The NHL is slow no doubt, but I think some people are forgetting,(or maybe just too young?) what it was like when you could basically waterski behind your guy, when guys like McDavid couldn't showcase their speed because it was legal to hold the game to death.
I hate the double standard on calls pre and post-April, but the league has made some changes that have helped.
....I know there are some chintsy penalties out of this as well, but we don't have Crosby having his wrist broken, in general stars are safer...baby steps.
I think baby steps is the problem. They don't need a scalpel, they need a cleaver right now.

Why wouldn't the sabres just let him do it.
I thought that I heard a tennis player had it done and it didn't really work and never played again.
