Simple. Every game is reviewed after the fact and anyone guilty is given a one game suspension. Double after each incident.
Harsh......but it probably has to be to get it to work.
A couple of seasons ago they used to send a guy a letter, then they would fine him if he did again.....the fine definitely should be heavier, but I think calling the guy out publically at that point would be the embarassment needed.
220 lb guys who have skated go dow way too easy, because they know they can draw a penalty.
It's awful some nights to watch.
I think you tell the players we will come for you after the game once reviewed and it's going to be a big fine or suspension. Then, and only then, does it stop. They all deserve oscars some nights, and it's awful....
I am not giving the refs a free pass here, because they need to do a better job on the ice also....everyone needs to own this.
I think once Stutzle is out of the league, the number of instances will go way down and it won't seem like as big of an issue.
I think we can cite almost one player on every team...............but Timmy is the absolute worst....Marchand can also be very guilty, so the list goes on....
