We could do with a little less "hackin'& whackin" - in my opinion. You can't legislate it out of existence but the game will not suffer if the message is sent out; stick-work infractions will & should be called tighter. All lot of us have played 'beer league' hockey & save for a few extreme cases, stick-work never seemed to be a real issue once the boys got the message. Just sayin......

Well said.
How often do you see guys cross checking each other and the ref lets it go until someone gets really slammed?
They wear stupidly strong equipment until someone hits a soft spot. (Like Cindy's head)
Maybe all stick infractions where there are 2 hands on the stick should be called.
