Like Bollig or Mcgrattan last year did a single thing to prevent Gaudreau from getting slashed. Pro fighting crowds don't use reality just their imagination.

Old men yelling at clouds? Quite original. Though that's not at all what was said.
The fear of taking a penalty in response to star players getting whacked repeatedly, is what has indeed allowed the game to come to this. It was predicted by many in 5 his very forum going back over a decade.
Sure the game has changed somewhat but at its core, it's very much the same. Skate, pass, shoot, battle fir pucks, hit and score.
The stick work prevents all that stuff from happening at points. Stopping the other team from taking those liberties against your best players makes your team better. This really is indisputable....unfortunately the avenues to do so have barriers that in turn actually cost your club.
The game simply is no where near as good because if it.
