As a big hockey fan I have to agree with you...Hockey is becoming ridiculous and with the nice weather, they may see their ratings plummet unless they can change their game plan. The biggest problem is the lack of respect between players. Football is rough and yes those bounties were discusting but in Football, when the whistle blows, 99% of the time, the teams stop and move on. In hockey, when the whistle blows, it seems to be like the bell at the gong show!
If this is Bettman's idea of hockey, he can go back under the rock he came from!
