Well, after watching the Pens/Flyers game 3 last night I have to say I'm a bit perturbed by some of the dirty play going on. In particular, the knee on knee shots. Both teams took liberties with this. Some penalties were called, some weren't. That's not what bothers me though. These types of things have to be taken out of the game, period. Knee on knee shots are cheap, dirty, and a good way to end or limit a players career.
I'm not a Pens or Flyers fan, but I enjoy watching guys like Malkin, Crosby, Briere play hockey. It makes the viewing pleaseure so much more enjoyable. If the stars of the game are sidelined or have their careers shortened because of cheap shots, well it takes away from the enjoyment of watching hockey.
I really hope the league looks at the knee on knee infractions and does something to curb them, or better yet, eliminate them altogether. They are just too dangerous.
