The refs did it right and allowed hockey manners to sort it out. thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 51 years. meep reach me at [link\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net\|mailto:bill.oxley@cox.net]
Post #282,368 by Nightowl 4/19/07 12:52:19 PM Reply	Hmmm Thanks for explaining that... I thought anything that looked like a deliberate punch to aim and hurt was not allowed. Did that change in the new rules, or are you saying it still isn't really allowed to hit the player with a closed fist, but because two other players fought over it that's why it was left uncalled? I seem to remember something in the hockey rules that a closed fist used to hit another player was a no no. Would it have been a different scenario if the punch had truly injured Crosby? Maybe that was the difference? I'm still trying to grasp the new hockey rules, and I barely had a grasp of the old ones! ;) Brenda "When you take charge of your life, there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large.
