Kristian Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yes - the punishment cannot depend on the result of the hit, but the execution of it. If you rob a liquor store with a toy gun, you still get charged with armed robbery....... True, but you don't get charged with murder if you try to kill the store clerk, and miss? Tasteless analogy I know, and my apologies in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you charge someone, hit them from behind and board them, how about calling all three penalties? Might curtail the behavior in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should pad the walls. ;) Padded walls sounds like an excellent solution for the league officials who can't figure this out...starting with Gary Bettman. Let's get them some special jackets, too. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodork Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'd concur. Charging needs to be more strickly enforced ala "interference" of the 04-05 season. This would lessen the amount of opportunities that players have to forcefully hit someone from behind. These are the type of hits which cause necks to snap back and heads to fall on the ice. Campbell nees to develop a repeat offender rule as well. Funny to see the chart a few weeks back about how he doles out the suspensions. He really should have a flow chart that applies to all. Remove the subjectivity from it. Hit from behind on a charge called, period. They'll change. Um, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that the year of the lockout? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you charge someone, hit them from behind and board them, how about calling all three penalties? Might curtail the behavior in a hurry. We're all on the right track here. It's so simple, start to actually penalize people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
