It is money driven period. You take out a golden boy and rules are written. It's not Sid's or TB problem owners are greedy. And if you care, share a few facts on your comments that the NHL 'listens to' Crosby. Even if it is a a kinder/gentler league and saves players futures I say good for the league!!!! If it takes a 'golden boy', (in both leagues), to save players from them selves then that is a good thing. Even you can agree to that, no?

Yes. Correct. No one cares if the plugs get hurt fighting. Take away the guy that sells the game and you have a problem that needs to be fixed.
It is that simple. (plus the speed of the game, and the post-lockout rule changes made players more vulnerable, which necessitated changes).
