How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

Re: How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

The only way to completely eliminate unclean hits is to eliminate clean ones as well.

Wait. No. Then every hit would be unclean. Crap.

Okay, just throw out all of the rules on hitting. There we go.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

You mean like the KGB guyu that suited up for the Soviet B team in 1980?

Yes, exactly. Nobody went near that guy, let alone cfb.

Although obviously this solution would eventually lead to an arms race on the ice--Soon we'd have AK's and M4's... C4 along the boards, goalies with twin .50's mounted on the posts... Finally escalating to coaches each with one finger on the nuclear option. But it's basically worked for 70 years worldwide. I'm pretty sure it will take care of "unclean hits" being the biggest problem in hockey.

Re: How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

Silly remarks are not an appropriate response to a documented and deliberate threat to hockey players' lives and futures. Apparently current strategy fails to reform the deliberately obtuse fan as well as the deliberately injurious player. "Completely eliminate?" - never. "Reduce?" - yeah, if we are adult enough to recognize the danger and take effective preventative action - which a five minute "time out" is not.

You'll have to forgive Bear Red. He's a butthurt Cornell fan that wants the player's head on a plate, despite being handed just about everything from the league.

Re: How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

No hypocrisy from these hockey fans. They accept cheap shots with (successful) intent to injure just as they accept the "five-minute-time-out-on-the- naughty seat" as a reasoned response to deliberately causing injury. The casual acceptance of deliberate injury in college hockey is the result of a childish, time-out response to serious injury caused deliberately.

This site doesn't have the thanks button turned on so reps to you. And thanx.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Bardreau.
Hits from behind, elbows to the head, knee on knee hits can be reduced dramatically with the following simple rule change. If a player is injured as the result of an infraction, the penalized player besides receiving the standard team penalty, may not play again until the injured player is able to resume play.

If the injured player is out for a week, the penalized player is out for a week. If the injured player has his career ended, the penalized player suffers the same fate.

The best advice I can give about eliminating unclean hits is to recommend cleaning your bong between uses.

Re: How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

I suggest requiring all players to concealed carry.

If they did that they'd probably shoot someone on 394 on the way to the games...

Coaches are going to start encouraging league-wide "secret" doping programs so that players can gain strength to help them withstand all these dirty hits they are taking. Teams will also be scheduling their games in larger groups. The first half of the season will be 16 games in 20 nights followed by a two-week break for finals. After the new semester begins, the season will conclude with 20 regular season games in 24 days with the conference and NCAA playoffs to be held the following week, one game per day until we have our NCAA champion. "...And it's all legal here in the All-Drugs NCAA Hockey League. Ohhh it appears the UND player has had his arm ripped clean from it's socket on that check from behind. Tough break for the former Sue player who showed so much promise early on this season. Well there is always next year..."

Even in a hypothetical, UND still gets screwed by the refs...

There has actually been more serious discussion than I thought there would be given the first post of the thread.

Wisconsin vs. UAA this past weekend. Derek Lee concussion/head injury.

This is the exact type of hit that caused the Jesse Martin injury.

Player skating with his head down, looking for the puck. As you can see it doesn't take a very hard check to cause a potentially horrific injury.

What's your point? Do you understand the game at all after these dozen or so years that you've actually watched it?

Do you know that you come within millimeters of dying everyday when you are eating your 3rd McDonald's Big Breakfast with Hotcakes for 2nd breakfast? But for the computer controlled suspension system in your Cadillac and this place would be sans DG ...

Be careful eating bro.

Do you realize how close to insanity you come every time you have an actual idea? An easily identified few have little to fear.

You try so hard.

Re: How to Eliminate Unclean Hits

From the Euro leagues.. vicious hit into the boards..

the player, Ronny Keller (confirmed by docs today).. will be a paraplegic for life.

Was just an exhibition gm too.. no cup on the line.. (not that that should make a difference).. just ridiculous!
Smarten up players!!! Take this garbage out of hockey..
