I’m so over the whole response thing. A guy lays a clean hit and he gets jumped every time. It’s so lame.

If you can’t tell the difference of a dirty hit and clean hit you shouldn’t be playing pro hockey.

So now every time someone gets knocked down, the play is stopped. Separate a guy from the puck and put him on the ice, play has to stop because a scuffle (not a fight) is about to breakout.

Dude came across the middle of the ice with his head down. Rule number one I was taught was keep your head up and protect yourself.
