Well I guess that I may be a little in the minority but I think they should take out the instigator penalty and bring back the enforcer type of role. I think that the hit was a total cheap shot and he deserves whatever he gets but I think that the whole thing could have been settled if way back when Moore hit Naslund an enforcer had skated up to him the next shift and "educated" him. All of this would never have happend.
I remember in the 80's when the Oilers were in their prime.... No one touched Gretz because they knew that they would have the wrath of Semenko descending on them.
It just seemed that things were a little more ballanced and the "star" players were able to play without having to worry about getting their bell rung by some one out to prove something.
Ah well that is just my thought on the matter.
