Your example is pretty poor, also, you do realize that Yzerman has only retired for about 6 years. Yzerman isn't THAT far removed from the situation.

It really was just a casual example, but if you want to attack it to high heavens, be my guest! I just used it as a basic example, I didn't necessarily intend to go into the crime rates and police effectiveness of different countries. But I'm sure you're right, my casual example would probably do me no good in court.
It's 7 years, if we're being nitpicky, but my point didn't hinge on how much the game has changed, as it hasn't much in 7 years, but rather the effect of being away from daily physical competition, in which 7 years is still pretty long. Your headspace changes, you no longer think the game the same way. Maybe that's good, maybe that's bad. Stevie Y might be right about all this, but concerning the value of having fights be a viable option in the game, I'm still leaning on current players.
Either way, you're probably right about the police, if that's what you think my argument hinged on, feel free to disregard the entirety of it.
