They Did Nothing

from Roy MacGregor of the Globe and Mail,
At the very least, the NHL general managers owed it to the game to take the issue of fighting seriously, not slough it off with some ridiculous proposed tweak to the current rules.
They could have done something about unnecessary fighting and did nothing.
They could have done something about helmets that fly off to easily — is there anything simpler than tightening a chin strap? — and did nothing.
They could have taken the NHL Players’ Association’s sensible suggestions for dealing with hits to the head … and did nothing.
Let us hope the NHLPA can still do this through the league’s competition committee, even if the GMs don’t like it.
