They're doing a great job of cutting fighting right now!

Yep. Down 100% from last year.

Bettman's going to implement an "insinuator penalty."

I'm the new disciplinarian and it's my take that Spiny's intent was not to injure and no penalty was called on ice.

Ipso fatso no fines or suspensions for Spiny. He'd just better make sure he doesn't become a repeat insinuator...

Very good Spiny. One of your best. But this is going to require a doctorate before you can join Weight Watchers. God knows it'll be tough to watch that! :)

Maybe they should focus on reducing slew foots and head shots before worrying about fighting. Oh, and remove the instigator penalty and a lot of the dirty play disappears. What a concept.

C'mon. Why do you insist on making sensible suggestions? :)

It's either a gift or an affliction ;)

Maybe they're just saving themselves until the NHL starts up again to get noticed.

I recognise now that I have an Insinuation problem, and will seek help immediately. It's not my fault, society is to blame. we need to get a support group and $1 millions in research funds....(see...I make fun of Liberal thought too!)

For being an EO insinuator your minor penalty has been reduced to 30 seconds just don't become a repeat insinuator

and a cup of coffee at 11?

The day of the 1 dimensional fighter is coming to a close...NHL teams want Chris Neil types not Colton Orr types.
