Guadreau gets whacked then you better be damn sure that Parise takes one right back or someone has to drop the mitts and answer for it. Sooner or later the really bad ones will be fewer and farther apart. Not one player that I saw stepped up and did anything to answer it on Johnny's behalf....appalling. If I'm Guadreau I'm definitely feeling like no one has my back.

Maybe, for a month, then it would stop. On a breakaway, the tinniest slash results in a penalty shot, almost every time it happens. Why not at other times. The players will adjust, and it's not like any of us will miss the "slashing" like some of us may miss the hits.
