After watching that gutless puke Matt Cooke end Marc Savard’s season with a dirty but legal hit, I wonder if this isn't such a bad idea. Someone is going to get killed on the ice with a vicious head shot. I think one thing the GM's might want to also do while they are at it, is get rid of the instigator rule to help police the game and respond to dirty acts such as the one above.
In the face of mounting public criticism, a group of general managers is pushing the NHL to adopt its proposed new rule on hits to the head before the end of the current season.
The group wants NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to bring the proposed rule, which calls for a minor or major penalty plus an automatic review by the league for any hit in which the head is the target, to the competition committee for a quick review. If the committee grants the necessary approval, the GMs want the governors to give the final approval in a fax vote in order for the rule to be put into force immediately, sources told The Globe and Mail.
