Not Easy To Get Rid Of The ‘Rats’

from Rosie DiManno of the Torotnt Star,
Now that the league, in its belated wisdom – as future tense corrective, pending reports of hurry-up application – has addressed the havoc wrought by blind-side head hits, the next matter on the to-do list should be addressing pest control for the infestation of hockey by dirty vermin.
“The rat,” says Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke bluntly, when asked where league executives should next tilt their pointy heads. “The guy that won’t fight, or only picks the fights he thinks he can win. The rat will run a player from behind because he knows he won’t have to pay for it by somebody else retaliating.
“The instigator penalty, which I still support, has kept some of those rats out of the game, but not eliminated them entirely. And because of it, teams can’t self-regulate anymore when it does happen. So, for now I guess we’re stuck with the rat because I have no idea how to fix it.”

It’s easy how to get rid of the rat: they need to be slapped with Unsportsmanliek Conducts when warranted (instead of letting it slide like they do too many times) and they need to suspend the clowns more-often when warranted.
Then a rat like Matt Cooke can’t go onwith shenanigans.
