What Debate

from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
It’s just so funny to watch the folks at Hockey Night in Canada passionately call for changes to the instigator rule every week when nobody else is really debating the topic. They insist this is what the majority of NHL players want, and dismiss out-of-hand the fact the players on the league’s competition committee voted down the minor change to the instigator rule forced through by Brian Burke last winter.
The reality is most players mindlessly mouth what they believe to be the company line. Players on the competition committee - Rob Blake, Jarome Iginla etc. - are individual thinkers, less likely to be swayed by the mob mentality.

Damien Cox is the most insufferable, arrogant prick in all of hockey journalism. His condescending attitude is sickening. I’d love to see someone with a good grasp of all the facts surrounding the instigator issue debate him on live TV and expose him for the simpering fraud that he is.

I love how Damien contradicts himself… he argues that no one wants to change the instigator except for HNIC, then he goes on to say that players on the competition committee wont be swayed by the mob who wants to change the instigator.
