from Jim Kelley at Sports Illustrated,
At first glance it sounds like something out of a Vince Vaughn movie: “Crease Crashers—the sequel to Wedding Crashers and every bit as outrageous!” Except we’re talking hockey here and running goaltenders in the crease isn’t funny and it can be dangerous.
Like most things in the NHL, the how and why isn’t really at issue. Goalies, well-padded but arguably as defenseless as a punter in the path of a half-dozen onrushing linesmen, are being overrun across the NHL. It appears to be a tactic and the league is at least giving lip service to doing something about it.
Though it hasn’t officially been added to the agenda for next month’s general manager’s meetings, enough GMs are lobbying to get it there. That alone doesn’t provide for any real hope to putting a stop to the nasty tactic.
continued plus some Chelios/NHLPA talk…
