The NHL has made numerous rule changes in the last few years. Most of them I believe have served primarily to water down the game. There are however, some places where some rule changes could have some positive returns for a change. I believe that one of these places should be in creating a valid common sense response to actions like that of Randy Jones. I’m not talking about accidental situations, but anyone that looks at that play in slow motion has to know that a) Jones had time to recognize the vulnerable position Bergeron was in, b) there was plenty of time to avoid the hit, c) the ensuing action was therefore intentional and should be recognized as nothing less than an intent to injure. I believe that for this type of play, the offending player should not only be heavily fined, but should also be suspended for as long as it takes the injured player to return to playing status. I would love to hear the opinions of others on this.
