No-Touch Icing Doesn’t Look Like It Will Happen

Gary Bettman is in Minnesota for the Avalanche/Wild game. He answered some questions befor the game..
from Russo’s Rants,
”I’ve been at every meeting of the competition committee since it was formed after the work stoppage — and this is both managers and players — (they’ve) said they don’t want to go to no-touch icing,” Bettman said. ”The sense is — and you get this from players as well — they don’t like play just stopping.”
–Bettman said the league is looking at its rules regarding college players in the wake of two high-profile players — Minnesota’s Kyle Okposo and Denver’s Brock Trotter — leaving their teams at mid-season. The league is talking with college conference commissioners and the players association about the issue, which Bettman said the league is not treating lightly.

Yes because keeping the play alive is WAY more important that keeping players from suffering unnecessary injuries. Stupid.
