Would you blame Iginla for scoring on a PP brought about by an over the glass penalty if you believed that to be a stupid rule and there is video of the puck deflecting out? It's a very similar situation, the opportunity was created by a faulty rule (I actually like the rule but for the purpose of the example let's call it stupid) and bad enforcement. Do you expect that penalty to be declined as a 'social crime' or do you expect teams and players to pursue their mandate?

Social crime: Doing something because you can, even though you know it may hurt others. If you can't see the callousness in that, then I fear for the lack of humanity in you. I certainly hope you're not running a bank. In fact, I hope you don't hold a position of power, because its people arguing "we're not guilty!" who are bound to portend the same problems all over again.
And BTW, Iginla doesn't serve the public interest the way banks do. But nice try though.
