from William Houston of the Globe and Mail,
The product that MacLean knocks was in full view on Saturday. Seen in most markets, the Toronto Maple Leafs-Montreal Canadiens game, in which five goals were scored, was fast-paced, never dull and produced plenty of scoring chances.
Before the crackdown started in 2005-06, MacLean predicted the players would never adjust. Well, despite the officials continuing to call the game closely — too closely, many would say — restraining fouls are down 21 per cent from last year.
Even if MacLean isn’t getting it, the players seem to be.

In the words of Ron’s friend Gary, if Ron wants to watch obstruction at his best, he can take a one-way trip to Moscow for the rest of the 07-08 Russian Superleague season.
Otherwise, Ron should keep hawking those “New Jersey Devils vs. Minnesota Wild, circa 2003-2004” DVDs. “Scintillating 0-0 ties!”
