as far as being an NHL fan. This has taken me from being a "new fan" for over ten years now to not believing the league is at all serious about "head hunting." I was thinking of taking the next step to being a STH ... But if what was done to Skinner is legal, then I'm not sure I want to support this league anymore. The hitter knew damned well what he was doing to Skinner, or likely to do, and if that is okay with the league, if that is legal, I don't think this game is for me.
I wonder about the wisdom of small guys like Skinner, no matter their talent, being allowed into the NHL before the age of 21 or so, when both their bodies and minds have matured (someone Skinner's size, with his talent is a perpetual target) ... if, as Rutherford says, "this is playing with the big boys." I don't think I have the stomach for it anymore.
