About the hit Weiss put on Gaustad... "It's definitely a play you have to look at now because we lost 'Gaus' under the new program," Ruff said. "We lost him for 15-20 minutes. He has to be evaluated." If it takes that long for the process to be completed in the "quiet room", no doubt some 4th liner will take a run at a top line player during a tight playoff game. This is practically an incentive to deliver a hard hit and risk a head shot (intentional or not), just to take a star player out to be evaluated. |

Yea, I can definitely see the problem with that. Even if you eject the guy that gives the head shot, I think most teams are willing to lose a 4th line grinder to take out the other team's top guy. |

That's why throwing people out of the league at some point is so necessary; they can't do it again, and it sends a message to respect your fellow players. |

Thanx Mario(and She-ro, Buttman and Colon). lol. That's why you slowly and carefully make and institute new rules. |

Well this is a league run by idiots, so you just have to get used too not seeing star players play. It's only been that way for like 80 years. |

this "strategy" really isnt that new to the game. way back when teams used to have goons start fights with star players in order to get the 5min penalty. |

The data I want is what the average penalty per evaluation is, and how long it takes to return a player. That will dictate how often it happens to remove a goal scorer with 10 minutes is left in a playoff game. The Paajarvi play tonight should have been a whistle, it took him literally 30 seconds to get up, and even start his way to the bench. 2 or 3 guys helped him find the door he was so woozy. 5 minutes later, the guy is back on the bench. It'll be a mess. |
