Can you explain why hockey players would be incapable of learning a bit of self-control? Is "
OGG! Hit enemy with stick!" so ingrained in our DNA that the idea of a game without slashing is a fantasy?
Baseball players have adapted to the new restrictions on 2nd-base slides within the first year...and "breaking up the double play" has been a part of baseball for decades. Why couldn't hockey players adapt?
