Hate’s a rather strong word, but I’m totally with your watered down sentiments.I'm in the minority here hate the expansion lets go back even further I hate Buttman err I mean Bettman.

Part of that is the influence of international players, and part of it is the influence of US college hockey culture. The third element is money. These guys are all aware that knocking a guy into next week is bad for his wallet, and, by extension, for your wallet, potentially. So there's now a gentleman's agreement to play nice.
