Say, what do you boys think of the general collective thoughts by the players that the instigator does NOT need to be brought back...?

Anyone see that Guardian villian skit?
The whole time I was thinking it would have been so much better with Bettman as the villian.

^ Yeah, I know you are a big proponent of it. Just thought it was surprising how many players voted against bringing it back. You'd think it would be the opposite.

....just because you pull a cheap shot hit once in a blue moon does not mean you are a dirty player...IMHO.
Plenty of players pull off a cheap shot hit in frustration now and then....but I don't consider them dirty. There is a big difference between that, and the frequent offenders in the league.

Homer alert:
NHL players have great respect for the Red Wings.
That much was clear from the results of a poll of 318 players on various subjects by CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada" and the NHL Players' Association. Results were released Sunday.

I think he's referring to this and more specifically http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/alls...-be-abolished/ That 66% of players do Not want to get rid of the instigator rule.

By far, THE best hockey players I've ever played with were originally figure skaters. They learn better skating mechanics via figure skating.

So you think the 66% of players in that poll are dirty players too?

What is Yummy talking about? He said that 66% say the rule does Not need brought back, then you said you disagree..
But the question is whether they should get rid of it and 66% say no. Not, not brought back. I'm confused..
Brought back? That's where I got lost.. Help me understand what he's saying....

Anyhow, unless I totally misread the result, that was what I meant.

The instigator rule didn't go anywhere it's still here. The instigator rule does not give you permission to instigate a fight after a cheap shot. Quite the opposite actually, the instigator rule actually forbids you from starting a fight after a cheap shot.
To explain it another way, the existence of the instigator rule prevents self policing.
You read the question wrong, the question was whether the instigator rule should be eliminated, 66% said no, it should not be eliminated.

Urgh...writing am the suck today for me.
And right...hence back to my original comment on why I'm surprised it was 66% who did not want to see the rule gone.

Cheapshots with no retaliation FTW!.....if you are a player that is.
For a fan, it's a horrible, horrible rule.
