Time For NHL to Act

NHL enforcers are suckers at the bottom of a fish tank – they’re ugly, but they keep it clean. If you want to ban fighting then do so, otherwise get rid of the instigator rule and let the big guys
police the idiots.
I know in hockey I have crossed the line , but luckily a bigger, player with hockey smarts has given me my wake up call and told me in not so many words – to clean it up or else. Unfortunately, the checks and balances are not present in the game today.
The rash of concussions I don’t believe are the direct result of the absence enforcers, but it hasn’t helped either. if the league wants to continue to follow its current path – then 4 on 4 will be the next evolution to create more space in what has become a very dangerous high speed game.
