Gary Bettman is destroying the game that we all love and it is not because of rules like the instigator rule, but because he still allows fighting and hitting despite how many players are now battling with PCS.
When you see many former players suing the league because of concussions, you know there is a serious problem. All teams, including the Toronto Maple Leafs, need to start protecting their players more and that involves taking hitting and fighting out of the NHL.
This is hockey, not MMA. These players want to play the game they grew up loving, not sit on the sidelines because they can not see straight.
