I agree. For this to work the rules have to crack down and be enforced to eliminate damaging blows.
And this is basically your argument.
"This is especially the case with “the hockey guys” on the sports networks and in the newsrooms. Most of them are men. They know the game. They played it. They lived it with their fathers and with their buddies. They live it today. They love it. They learned many of their most meaningful life lessons from it; and they’ve passed many of these same life lessons on to their kids through it. To them, you don’t mess around with the game because this stuff is just too important." |
Do you listen to The Lede podcast with Stephen Brunt
(and Jeff Blair is part of it to)? They had Ken Dryden on for the whole episode #4 this week. A discussion between those two is a great listen.
