If you’ve seen a highlight reel containing hockey fights over the past five years, you’ve seen PJ Stock. He’s the smaller guy throwing without fear of being hit, then smiling afterwards, and skating off waving to the crowd as they’re all on their feet.
Do you think next year, we’ll see a decrease in the number of penalties called? Did the players need a full year to adjust to the new rule implementations?
PJ Stock: Yes. Chris Chelios is a perfect example. He’s in his 40s. He has been playing the same game for 35 years and then, a couple of weeks before the season, they decide to change it all up and he’s can’t use his stick and he can’t hook, and he can’t clear the front of the net by crosschecking. It’s almost turned into basketball a little bit in front of the net because everything’s body positioning and it’s great, but guys can take quite some time to learn this. The refs also have to give a little more leeway which I think they did towards the end of the year.
