The Tom Wilsons are exactly why the NHL isn't growing, because the casual fan doesn't care about the "code". They care about a fast paced, skilled game. Which is what the game should be billed as. Not that roughing garbage. The rest of us can reminisce about that stuff. Just the way the NFL and NBA fans have. Time for the NHL to move on.
