Charging in the NHL. U think it's getting outta control now?

Question

Too many players leave the ice while hitting

it's becoming 2nd nature to players

I think the nhl better do somethin about it quick

Answer 1

no its all good

Answer 2

Well if idiot bettman gets rid of the instigator, that will happen no more, or if it does, the violater will be punished with a penaltie, some lost teeth, and bad bruising around the face.  No team any more wants to go shorthanded, so even my man Phaneuf does it, but no one punishes him, it is ridiculous.  Kronwall did it, and no one on the pens took initiative to go after him, because of the instigator rule

Answer 3

i think were just  lucky to  still have hitting in the NHL. in a few years you prolly wont have anything to complain about.

Answer 4

its fine

Answer 5

What can the NHL do about it?

they have sent Videos to Each NHL team for their teams to watch about this kind of stuff. Violence, Hitting, and the proper way to do things etc.

Coaches im sure talk to their players about it as well.

the NHL can NOT glue a players skate to the ice, and they can't hook them up to one of those table hockey games where they are attached to the ice on one of those moving things.

it's up to the players to make this decision themselves, and that's why teams have to watch these videos during training camp to educate the young players in the league.

Junior teams have also been given these tapes etc.

Answer 6

Hitting is the best part of most hockey games if you ask me, especially the slow ones. Without hitting, hockey wouldn't be nearly as fun.

Answer 7

yeah it seems like they are doing more hitting than playin

Answer 8

like what? they just want to get the last hit in.
