You don't have a clue what your talking about. You should stick to figure skating or golf so your not offended; because God forbid you might seeing a fight break out during a hockey game, which most of us agree is part of the NHL, unless you want to stick your head in the sand. You can lecture us all your want but your wrong. The point being Hartnell cheap shoted Cheechoo and Hartnell payed for his cheap action. The game policed it's self. There is a difference between rough play and being cheap.
He is right, that act of violence would have immediately resulted in that player having the tar beat out of him. This logic that cheap shots should just be ignored is flawed logic. Oh its just part of the game, is why skilled players get kneed by cheap shot artists.
