Touch Icing

The most moronic rule in the NHL has to be the touch icing rule.  It's a way of adding almost-negligible excitement to icing at the risk of injuring defencemen and forwards who are hustling their asses off for the sake of the team.......

Why do GMs insist on putting their greatest assets (the players) at risk?  That's why it's finally good news to see that the NHL is considering changing this idiotic rule, and implementing something much safe (like hybrid icing), according to this Globe and Mail article.

Let's hope the NHL rule custodians stop being morons, and start protecting the players that make this the greatest game on earth......
