The Red Wings are going to win the Stanley Cup, and the NHL fucked up the instigator rule one more time, but I am not going to get into that. OK, for a second I will. Why does the rule book only apply to certain players? In other sports, if someone broke the rules, let’s say in football for holding. An offensive lineman commits a holding penalty at the end of a game. Let’s say the guy holds people all the time, so he gets called. Now let’s say it’s the guy’s first holding call ever. Would he still be flagged for it? Damn right. Again, the rule reads if a fight in instigated in the last 5 minutes of a game, the player is suspended and the player and coach are fined. If the league isn’t going to call it correctly, get rid of the rule. While we are at it, get rid of the instigator rule altogether. Seems like a much better idea. But the NHL is going to be stricter about actually calling the instigator. Bullshit.
Ok, I got that out of me. TKO supplied me with the best news I’ve received in a long time today. Boston has re-signed David Krejci for 3 years. Excellent. 3.5, 3.75, and 4 million for the next 3 years for this budding superstar is a bargain. What the Bruins are getting is a two way center that can slow the game down at will, and was at times the best Bruin on the ice this season. Well done by the front office on this one. It makes me wish September was here. Stupid Hurricanes.
